The tail works opposite the wings. Its Pitch Up makes the aircraft Descend, lowering the nose, hence it is understandable for elevator movement to be described contra wing....
Presenting the two in the same way is misleading. ?
Dozy, one pulls to raise the nose, I have always associated Nose Up as a positive, an INCREASE, and a push (descent) as negative. AOA the same, an increase is a plus move, so why associate the control movement as the opposite of its result?
