I refer to the left signal/right turn or vice-versa as "throwing a head fake," like in basketball. I see this often enough that it doesn't even faze me. As said before, signals mean nothing. What I find is more helpful, and you can even see it in this video, is that before someone makes a lane change, sometimes even before they consciously know they want to make the lane change, they shade to the side where they're about to go. You see this on the highway ALL. THE. TIME. You may even do it yourself. In your video, you can see them starting to move right almost immediately after they hit the brakes, well before they actually commit to the lane change. Of course, sometimes someone will meander about in their lane and not change lanes, but I'd rather be ready for a lane change that doesn't happen than not be ready for one that does!
