Same, but probably it's more of a familiarity bias rather than a logical one. I think there is a strong argument to index from 1 as is done in MATLAB, R etc. since it matches the way most people refer and think about lists in reality. A brave decision from the authors though, I imagine they would have got less flak matching the more popular 0-index languages.
