These are drawn according to that convention, with the negative input
on top. It's labeled with a "-" and the number 2 (which is an
inverting input on a TL072). The feedback goes from the output
(labeled 1, which is an output pin on a TL072), along the bottom, to
a an input labeled with a "+" and the number 3 (which is a
non-inverting input on a TL072). So I don't think I'm assuming
anything in suggesting that if it isn't meant to be a comparator,
then perhaps the schematic should be corrected.
