Z, what is the difference between counting posts in a thread,
and measuring height or length of a natural object ?
It's not like counting live and dead cats in a box.

ETA: Above, I said:
...two "1's" must occur (1 and 10) before there can be two "9's" as the first digit."

But in fact,
...eleven "1's" (as the first digit) must occur (1,10,11,12,...and 19)
before there can be two "9's" as the first digit."

Sorry, but I'm just not seeing the significance of Benford's Law.
I must be misinterpreting something or other ???
