This explains it well enough, but it works better with your thumb or driving as an example. I'm sure most kids at some point had a dirt bike or dad let them drive the boat or whatever; inverted controls are the norm there. You pull your weight back to make a jump. This is doubly true on an airplane or helicopter. Like even without gaming I would prefer an inverted Y axis because I grew up on it and I've driven a lot of stuff in my life. My personal favorite are the various fork lifts I've learned. My personal favorite is this thing: http://www.warehouseforklifttrucks.com/photo/pl17393532-full_electric_power_narrow_aisle_reach_truck_narrow_aisle_straddle_truck_high_speed.jpg

Fork lists are basically all inverted controls.

Or with the thumb example, you're pulling back to look up or pushing something down. It's more intuitive, and I'm willing to bet if this is real science it'll show this. That or it'll likely connect the male love of operating vehicles and gaming with inverted controls; these two factors are more closely related than most people think. Don't men design most directional control in video games?

Yeah I will say he follows it up by going into a tirade about how airplanes fly like that too ha ha
