>IMO there is no objective reason why turning a plastic wheel towards or away from the screen should be the natural choice for scrolling down a webpage. It's just something that some people are used to.
Hard disagree. I move the mousewheel down to go down the page, and up to go up. That's natural.
Swiping around my desktop screens and apps like it's a tablet makes no sense. It's the very first thing I turn off on all Macs.
When I’m reading a piece of paper lying on the table and I need to focus on something at the bottom, I physically push the paper away from me, I don’t scoot backwards with the chair. Not saying that your preferences are wrong, I just firmly believe that “going down the page” itself is something that only happens on a computer screen and has no natural physical equivalent where moving something towards your body would make sense.
