I find that statement very suspect, and I highly doubt there is any data to back it up. In my opinion [1,0] is far more obviously an empty range than [1,1) but that's just what it is, my opinion. And I suspect what we are seeing in that Wikipedia article is the author's opinion, not anything backed up by facts or data. Edit: Lol, the Wikipedia article cites Dijkstra's article.
