obviously, the question is intended to find a logical or most logical explanation for such convention and not answers stating that since we cannot explain why trees go up so we cannot explain this convention as well.
hence, i feel the above quoted explanation seems to be most reasonable.
p.s. why in the USA they use opposite format of writing liabilities on right hand side and assets on left hand side ??
Any thoughts on this manish ?
