So I used the wrong term in English ;). I was thinking of the fencepost
error, off-by-one error.
What we use to write a program, is not what we should provide as output
for the GUI.
To use math we need to be careful to keep it logically.
Similar as chemical science versus physics regarding to the Bohr
Diagram, working to know how a chemical bond does work regarding to
valence electrons, but for physics we (hopefully) learned other theories
than the Bohr Diagram for good reasons.
I even failed in orthography in my native language, IOW German lessons,
but not that much in general science. "They" tested me and called it
dyslexia.
Perhaps we could stop talking about panel number zero vs panel number
one. Xfce does work, it doesn't matter if the panel is called "0" or
"1", it just could become confusing for more complicated issues, if
coders use "programming language style" for the output of a GUI.
