How many joints in your finger?
Is that an attempt at ridicule? My fingers are like yours except when I use them to type I try to go by the golden rule.
The best trigger technique, I believe, is to use the last third of the finger from the last joint to the tip, because that is the area with the most sensitivity, to apply pressure on the trigger using the crook of the last joint is not my concept of best technique, though you may not agree.
There are many fewer nerve endings in the area of the joint so the slightest feedback from the ignition train cannot be felt as well.

Unfortunately with a heavy trigger weight and a smooth trigger face that is the only way I can apply enough force to fire the gun, with serrations the extra adhesion would permit the method I was taught was the superior tactile functioning. If the trigger weight is down around 3-4 lbs. either method can be used, or at least that is my experience.
