That was a joke. And there are several of them throughout the post.

But anyway, I'll bite: stroke order is in no way comparable to your examples. It's comparable to whether you start "5" with the vertical or horizontal line, or an "8" at the top or the bottom.

Funnily enough, I've been chewed out in Japan for writing my Latin numerals "wrong"!

(Also, are there really people who start an 8 at the bottom...?)

I know people that draw two circles, one on top of the other.
