YOU don't see that on a clock. Your experience isn't universal. IIII was often used for 4. There were no reduction rules when Roman numerals were in use. The idea of IV being THE way to write 4 is a reflection of modern education.

Also, the idea the human clocks have IV whereas a computer trained on human images might write it as IIII when no training images are like that is weird.

I've already conceded, jeez.

Just ranting at the void. The fact that it hit a topic related the one I replied to is purely coincidental.

Come to think of it, it's pretty vain of you to think just because I started a post replying to your post with a big capital 'YOU' that I was talking about you. Get over yourself.

I kid, it was nothing personal.

I just wanted to point out that this is an example of anomaly hunting where one spots something is off and tries to work out how it is evidence of something. in a lot of cases, the anomaly is not in fact anomalous. In other cases, it is an anomaly, but doesn't lead to the conclusion jumped to. This was both.
