TI has done that with TO-3 and TO-220 package drawings also.  Their terrible datasheets go back decades.

Someone should dig out the old National Linear databook, I bet the mistake is in it!

No mistake in the National original. I looked it up. A 2010 revision from National shows only the "Bottom View" label, with the same graphic as the TI datasheet.

I say load a gun with those very packages, pointing whatever way the diagram tells you is up.  Do the pins go first or not?  You be the judge.  :-DD

Well, that is just embarrassing, isn't it?  :D
Another reason to use SMD, I guess.

That's not always a sure bet. I've been using a BGA sensor with inverted pin numbering. Meaning that A1 and L10 are flipped.

Here is Signetics famous WOM datasheet.  It actually made it to print.  I remember seeing it in the fresh databooks when I was in school.  It bears close reading because it's packed with jokes.  It was never meant to make it to print but just to make their marketing department realize how lackadaisical they were about proofing their publications.  ::)

STAND BACK!  I'm going to try SCIENCE!

"Shot"?

I suppose no one is allowed to make a mistake, eh? Could be a sliiiiight over-reaction to a data sheet. So, can we shoot you, next time you slip up? :p

The National "Fast" and "Damn Fast" buffer amplifier datasheet is amusing.  I have an old enough databook to include it and I think I have the Signetics WOM datasheet as well.
