My only point was that the ongoing conversation should
not accept uncritically the assertion that r<0 is senseless.
Thus I cited one example of the common acceptance of negative r:

I am not advocating a position on whether Matplotlib should enforce a unique
representation, although that seems very doubtful to me.
