      but that’s not intuitive. when a compass says that the bearing is east, you are facing east. here, the onlooker is actually facing west when looking at east.

      if the street pole had a bunch of arrows sticking out towards the cardinal points, what you’re saying is obvious may truly have been obvious.

      but in this arrangement, the question put forth is a fair one and does not deserve derision.

      “like always”???
      You’re saying it like it’s obvious, but it’s a fair question.
