Water Heater Switch Position

This may have been covered already but we're fairly new to TTs and this may be a stupid question. Why is the switch "ON" position towards the bottom which is opposite the normal way rocker switches work. There must be some logic to it other then just messing with us...
  • OK, I'll bite, how do you know down is `on'?
    Also, is this the switch on the wall or on the Water Heater?
    If it is the one on the Heater several posters have had them burn out as I did and removed the switch, jumped the in and out wires and relied on the switch on the wall.
