Theory: Therizinosaurus with webbed fingers?

So, I was thinking, Theri might have those claws and all, but those long fingers would have been great to have webbing for swimming!
So let's get to the point: What's your opinion about this? It might sound silly, but if you think about it, it's practical. So please tell me your opinion. Thank you.

Given the body shape and the ancestry, probably not.

If you have a closer look at the animals which have either webbed hands or/and feet, what you would have notice is that the "webbing" are restricted to the animals' digits rather than their nails/claws. Also these animals tend to have "small" nails/claws relative to their hands or feet (like http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oTn9sPdF9ss/TgjNnP2MmyI/AAAAAAAABOE/oynl5tMR5s4/s1600/rfbfeet.jpg, http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bwoVTKFweP4/Swfge4PFqsI/AAAAAAAACTc/EvVnNlAP3h8/s1600/Paris+2009+031.JPG, http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/70/Larus_smithsonianus_feet1.jpg or http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PsByAQSH59w/Tqh5rl-5rXI/AAAAAAAAIE8/voXR1Hn_QYo/s1600/Zoo_River+Otter.JPG or http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3235/2623048411_8ac9998230_o.jpg). Now, if you compare the Therizinosaurus' hand (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/15/Therizinosaurus_claw.jpg) to those of webbed hands/feet above, you will clearly see the hand of the Therizinosaurus has a very different proportion, its claws are almost as long as the actual digits and that is before adding the keratin sheath on top. The webbing just doesn't cover enough of its hands...

Perhaps the lack of ability to rotate their hands would also hamper their swimming strokes as well?

Thank you guys.
