The difference is that we already use an integer-scale with single-
digit numbers anyway. It would be very little effort to expand the
range to all decimal single-digit numbers. Expanding the range would
improve the scale, so we might as well do so.
As an aside, I sense anger. I assure you that our disagreements are
not personal. I attack the idea —— Not the man. Indeed, I put off
attacking the idea because I feared that doing so might come off as an
attack against the man.
