> ...humans got it wrong. [...] 0-based with right-open intervals just results in way way more elegant, easier to understand... You must have warped your brain into thinking like a computer (well, a C-family-language compiler) for so long and/or so thoroughly that you no longer think quite like an ordinary human. Having to sprinkle semi-arbitrary "-1"s all over your code is in no reasonable sense of the words "way way more elegant, easier to understand" than not having to do so.
