Not following you here, Ian.  An interval is just a measured distance 
whether reckoned up or down.  By the same token, if I'm driving from New 
York to Miami, am I supposed to measure the mileage from south to north 
instead of the north-south route I'm actually traveling?  And will the 
results differ depending on which method I use?
