Sure, there is a model that can explain it. Same w/ camera-vs-paper in swipe.

By "wrong" I mean "does not work that way in any other device, and so violates the user's by-now-fairly-well-burned-in expectation". So, in terms of the principle of least surprise, wrong.

Wilfully so, given that (to my knowledge at least) pinch-to-zoom has only existed for a few years and has only worked in this one way.




I am guessing its configurable (like inverted camera in games) So, that should end this debate right now.

Btw, two finger scrolling on trackpads is usually opposite of what works on the phone too, and people have no trouble with that either

But ignore that, as i said, it must be configurable. No sense on debating on each others preferences
