Strongly disagree. To "create an appropriate mental model" you have to start at
the lower level, which is understanding how the different controls combine.
This is difficult, or even one could say broken, if controls on a line don't
form coherent, grammatically valid sentences. In our case, you suggest that the
dialog read: "Position from left of paragraph area by 0.7 cm". You cannot
"position from X" in English. While you may have developed a certain assumption
regarding what this means, most people don't share it. They have to guess what
this might mean.
