Point taken. (I personally prefer odds ratios strongly enough for this kind of thing that keeping the scale consistent doesn't bother me.) You could fix that, kinda, by fixing the side lengths of the "prior" and "posterior" side while allowing the length of the "evidence" side to vary, but that means introducing extra not-so-visible constraints so maybe it's a bit of a cheat.
