In the book „the design of everyday things“ it is mentioned that „natural mappings“ exist. Moving the knob of a vertical slider to the upper end universally means „brighter“ or „louder“, not „less bright“ or „more silent“.
maybe the chicks and norman get it, but i'm currently renting an apartment in france that has a bunch of these light switches installed all upside down, with "-" at the top:

Except for the organ drawbars?
But then you are "pulling out the stops"! That sounds louder, doesn't it.
Which way would a vertical weight slider go?
