The british gesture, the reverse of the victory sign, means the same as your 1 fingered salute but it was these 2 fingers which were both used to draw back the string of the bow. The article is about the origin of the two finger gesture and not your 1 fingered salute. Sorry chum, you 've got it wrong.

Since it was mostly done with the middle finger, it was then tied with the act when you flipped people off. Just another possibility...
