Just because someone is very familiar with a deck doesn't mean that there isn't more to learn or consider from someone else, and by that I am also referring to my own interest in the Marseilles pips and their connection to the playing card decks.
I can learn from others. I can also disagree with them. My brain can handle both tasks.

Any book that expresses positive and negative meanings for the cards is showing upright and reversed meanings. The orientation of the cards is moot.
Agree to disagree. Reversed and negative do not mean the same thing. Showing a worse or better aspect of a card does not make the meaning be reversed. "Small conflict" is a better version of "big conflict", but it's not the same as "harmony and happiness" (which would be the 'reversed" meaning of conflict).
I think that the playing card oracles use a method closer to elemental dignities than to "reversals". The cards are ether weaker or stronger, but they don't get an opposite meaning.
I agree however that this discussion will take us nowhere. So I take my leave now. This is a wonderful oracle, it's good to see it getting more fans. I wish I had a group of people like this when I started.
