Heh, non-controversial you say ;)

One convention is that reduction meters got right to left (and presumably
top to bottom, though I dont think I've never seen a vertical one).

This is neccesary if the reduction measurement (attenuation etc.) is to
have the same scale as a normal measurment. c.f. JAMin's compressor gain
reduction meters: http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~swh/jamin-log-spectrum.png
somewhat old screenshot, gut you can see the right-to-left meters and the
bottom of each compressor section.
