In S1E14, at the beginning Riker is walking along side Yarr and Worf who are departing to play a game when Riker says “The pride of the Enterprise goes with you!” and the. Gives a reverse 🖖 hand signal. Anyone know what it means?

It’s a production mistake with no real in-universe explanation
Or… maybe it’s not. Gene Roddenberry was alive and on set for majority of TNG’s season one filming. He would have noticed such a mistake.
Maybe that’s the evil Riker? I bet people from the mirror dimension do the vulcan salute backwards like that, and Gene probably could’ve been fooled at the time if they hadn’t yet introduced the mirror dimension concept.
