@hazardwarning Natural scrolling is based on the idea that you are displacing the content rather than a window into the content. When you drag down, you are sliding the paper down the desk, which pulls stuff further up the paper into view.
Most of the real-world analogies here honestly founder on the fact that no-one uses a single scroll of paper for anything. (Kerouac typing up On the Road while high aside.) We would use pages that match the viewport size, and the true natural analog would be turning the page.
