You nailed it.
Note: Blather to come ;-)
A far fetched analogy is writing dates in a form like 20211210. For me
it's hard to discern whether the date starts by the year and then where
month or days begin. I'm annoyed when some colleagues do not use the
visually supporting form: 2021-12-10 (actually this form is recommended
by standard ISO 8601).
In this vane - I guess - Emacs' Info reader supports here the counting
of headlines.
