Q400 pitch reading reference on ADI

Hello fellow aviators,

Question for the Q400 drivers on here:

My operator teaches us to read-off the pitch value with reference to the upper edge of the ac symbol on the ADI as opposed to the middle of it, as one was once taught in flight-school. I may be picky on this but it just seems so counter-intuitive.

Any idea as to why the avionics are designed in that way or are we simply doing it wrong?
How do other operators handle this?

Cheers
