why do keyboards lay out the numbers 1-9 & 0 instead of 0-9? It predates Benford’s law. And it looks like early variants of QWERTY didn’t even have 0 or 1 (you used O(oh) and I(eye) instead)
Here are some examples of 2–0 retrofitted to add 1 (some people even requested this, as their fingers were used to 2 being between Q and W, and adding 1 would require shifting the whole row).pic.twitter.com/KySFNUmYnp
