Actually Ten Tec has the better idea for those operators not used to the
other way. With 0 being minimum C and 10 the max you dont have inverted
logic when trying to figure out which way to turn the Load control at 3AM
during a contest.
I never could understand why increased loading went with a higher number
when less C on the Tune cap is the opposite. And without a standard there is
always the chance for error and damage.
Yes, I understand that the higher number is supposed to convey higher
loading and trying to tell a new user that higher means less might result in
glassy eyes and brain fades.
