Behind Benford's Law Is Inherent Scarcity
Benford’s Law is the phenomenon of a predictable distribution of the first digit of the numbers of any dataset. The number 1 is more noticeably occurrent than 9 in a predictable way. Because all things in all datasets are things within a universe with finite resources, we can expect to see Benford’s Law arising from them, when they arise without explicit cognizance of their being measured and collected into a dataset, that is, a volitious human element. When real things are indicated by the n...
