Because I spent too much time as a kid playing flight simulators, I learned it that way, and I have no interest in relearning. I found the inverted flight controls bafflingly backward when I first encountered them, but I got used to them.
Now if you'll read the article, you'll discover that apparently some asshole in a lab knows my own mind better than I do despite never once meeting me, because:
> "In short, gamers think they are an inverter or a non-inverter because of how they were first exposed to game controls. Someone who played a lot of flight sims in the 1980s may have unconsciously taught themselves to invert and now they consider that their innate preference; alternatively a gamer who grew up in the 2000s, when non-inverted controls became prevalent may think they are naturally a non-inverter. However, cognitive tests suggest otherwise. It’s much more likely that you invert or don’t invert due to how your brain perceives objects in 3D space."
Did your head go forward or backward?

To this I say: prove it.
I detest this kind of smug journalism.
