I remember when she did this, the thing is, does it ever occur to the world that there could be deaf people in the audience? and possibly the people of prominence always caught on camera supposedly throwing the satanic greeting is actually being technically incorrect in returning the "I love you" to someone in the audience, so many people that use hand signs are not always good at using sign language, and sometimes do not render the hand signs correctly or lazily form the sign...just another possible reason.
From an interview with Ronnie James Dio on Metal-Rules.com:
Metal-Rules.com – "I want to ask you about something people have asked you about before but will no doubt continue to talk about, and that is the sign created by raising your index and little finger. Some call it the "devils hand" or the "evil eye." I would like to know if you were the first one to introduce this to the metal world and what this symbol represents to you?"
R.J. Dio – "I doubt very much if I would be the first one who ever did that. That's like saying I invented the wheel, I'm sure someone did that at some other point. I think you'd have to say that I made it fashionable. I used it so much and all the time and it had become my trademark until the Britney Spears audience decided to do it as well. So it kind of lost its meaning with that. But it was…I was in Sabbath at the time. It was symbol that I thought was reflective of what that band was supposed to be all about. It's NOT the devil's sign like we're here with the devil. It's an Italian thing I got from my Grandmother called the "Malocchio". It's to ward off the Evil Eye or to give the Evil Eye, depending on which way you do it. It's just a symbol but it had magical incantations and attitudes to it and I felt it worked very well with Sabbath. So I became very noted for it and then everybody else started to pick up on it and away it went. But I would never say I take credit for being the first to do it. I say because I did it so much that it became the symbol of rock and roll of some kind.

The whole Baphomet sign thing is overblown in my opinion. If you're from Texas it means hookem' horns. For most other people it means "we rock" of "rock and roll". We are way too easily distracted by paper tigers.
