You encounter confusion explaining it to new users because they've learned it wrong their whole lives.

Nobody has any trouble in the UK with lifts where the ground floor is 0 - one of the few places where humans got it right.

Right but the existence of confusion cuts against your argument it’s more understandable. What you really mean is your brain works differently than everyone else’s, and you find something straightforward which they find confusing, therefore they are just thinking wrongly and it turns out your brain is the one with the correct worldview.

That’s certainly a perspective.
