I’d like to weigh in on this, since I actually disagree with the decision – and didn’t realize that Fathom did it this way, either. I think there should be consistency in how we think about the Y-axis and it should ALWAYS be that lower values are further down. If not, we get the attached counter-intuitive graph, in which a “perfect” correlation is represented as a line with slope -1, rather than 1. This seems wrong to me.
