Two things  1) You have to remember to skip inko when counting (and how many 
remember to do that) and 2) Only S36 rpg II programmers know about them.  
Most programers that first learned rpg on a 38 or a  400 (in a shop without 
36 legacy code) don't know about the ink? indicators (or the cycle either).  
These days that makes ink? aware rpg programmers the minority.
