Not an easy typo either- the 3 and the 8 aren’t nexty to each other...

Yeah, but they look alike. Somebody scribbles a bad "3" it might look like an "8". Or maybe you spill coffee on that "3" report, or whatever, and it starts getting "8"ish.

In the old days- that might have been the case- but now there's probably not a piece of paper in sight- to scribble actual thoughts, or doodle..
