Don't you know the indomitable axiom yet? "If it works for you ..." Why would you see this as a limitation? Sor basicaly advocates 3 RH fingers playing using the 4th one here and there for specific purpose, but now that guitarists (well ... not all of them) are aiming at integrating the pinky to the industry of creating clean voices this might sound a bit disconcerting and limited but ... IMHO if you can do it, and you just told us you can, I would categorize your ease at mingling with pmim as a ++ to your on the path to mastery journey.[;o)

I wonder about playing a five-note flamenco tremolo with the three finger approach -- would it be easier or harder? I have a middling pami tremolo, but I've never gotten around to acquiring a flamenco tremolo.

With pmim you can get a more oblique angle on the string, whereas when using both i and a your attack will be either more of a right angle or you will either be reaching with i or crouching with a.
Also remember, women generally have longer i fingers then men, so i and m will be better matched.
Using two nails instead of three makes tonal consistency that much easier to get.
Maybe she tried both when she was young and happened to pick this one up faster, and just ran with it... Who knows?

Woops. You were asking Cactus. I was fixated on the Ana video...
