> [image of slider going from red "min" to green "max"] > This is what you get when you search for “Maximum” on Pixabay, not really sure what’s going on here. This image succinctly summarizes the problem that the article is talking about. (It's an actual case of "an image is worth a thousand words".) The correct color scale would have green in the middle and red both on the "minimum" and the "maximum" side. Instead, "maximum" somehow has a generalized positive connotation, even though it is just as far away from "optimal" as "minimum".
