Comment on Why don't compasses have just two Cardinal directions (North, East, -North, -East)?

In addition to what others have already said, it’d be really silly to make one a negative of the other in the most basic sense, too.

There have been so many issues with electrons having a “negative” charge, and that’s a binary situation! It would be so much worse to introduce implied favoritism with basic directions.
