Just realized I was boiling rice wrong for 9 years

My roommate's mom from Thailand visited last month and watched me cook. She asked why I rinse then soak then boil like a pasta recipe. She showed me the finger trick, water level to first knuckle, and I swear the texture came out perfect for the first time in my life. I always ate sticky or mushy rice and thought it was the $8 bag from Kroger. Anyone else cook rice for years before someone corrected them?

Wait, the finger trick only works if your hand is the same size as the pot.
