No, what you phrased is a common argument but IMO doesn't follow from natural language. The fact that C uses pointer offsets as it's "indexes" is IMO the truly counterintuitive thing.

Obviously I use 0 based indexes for most of my programming. I have not found 1 based indexing to be a serious problem since Lua is a high enough language that I'm rarely doing complex index arithmetic.

FYI I didn't downvote you.
