For me "natural" scrolling means swiping upwards should push content and
sliders upwards, but "inverted" means "do the opposite of what is the default
direction". So I argue that those two shouldn't be the same setting. Maybe they
could instead be put like this in the settings panel: 
- [X] Invert scrolling
    - [X] Natural scrolling
(so that you can enable inverted scrolling and as a suboption make it only
invert the parts that make it feel unnatural to people like me)

And I 100% agree with this:
