Inhibitive Subs - Can They Be At Full when Down?

Question

I have a question about Inhibitive Submasters. 
 Can I set an Inhibitive Sub so that it Inhibits its Channels only when raised? In other words, all the channels it controls would be active when the fader is down and inactive when the fader is raised. 
 Thanks!

I wrote my above post in a bit of a hurry, I'm sorry if it came across a bit blunt, that really wasn't my intention! 
 I understand your situation, you are correct the behaviour of an inhibit wouldn't necessarily make sense to users used to two-scene operation, but nor do I think the idea of pushing a fader up in order to turn lights off would either. 
 That wider discussion aside though, from playing around on the offline, depending on what the situation is a potential solution could be to create an LTP Sub, with the channels in question recorded at 0 in that sub. Pushing the fader up would have the effect of an inhibitive sub. The obvious downside of this is that the sub would be over ridden when any other command to that channel was issued, but if for example it was a hazer that was tracking at a constant level through the show, pressing Go would not be sending any new commands to that channel, so the sub would stay as the latest precedence, overriding the cue stack level. Sending a Go To Cue command or any manual control of the channel would of course override the sub. 
 As far as I can tell this is best compromise on the situation that can be achieved, but maybe someone else has a better method!
