My brain evidently prefers and functions like yours in this regard ;)
Another good example is needle pointer index camera meters. I much prefer
them to all the colored lights etc.

" .... Give me an analog needle I can look at instead of numbers to read on
a digital readout. Must be how my brain works. The meaning of a needle
position on a scale can be visually processed and comprehended faster than
reading numbers sequentially on a display. Akin to the difference between
serial and parallel ports on a computer and it's the same reason I have
analog dial clocks and watches. A quick glance is all that's required to
comprehend time of day....."
