That's odd. Then maybe my hi-fi isn't a hi-fi, because it displays the
volume in dB. And I like it.
We could use any representation we want, and we opted for a
representation that actually means something, instead of an arbitrary
range. Most people tend to use the volume control interactively
anyway, you change the volume until it sounds right, regardless of
what the display says.

Sarcasm, I see, clever.
So I'm wrong about hi-fi's displaying dB scale. There are also
audiophile's that spend £50 on a piece of speaker-cable or buy little
boxes to rest speaker their cable on. These kind of people would
probably appreciate a dB scale. Most, I'm guessing, would prefer to not
have to deal with negative numbers.
Once again though, I don't mind, I can deal with seeing a negative
number when I would expect to see positive numbers. This is simple an
opinion about what I believe most people would be more comfortable seeing.
