…That kind of makes sense. Or should you use (0,0)-(1,1) for a single pixel, and (0,0)-(0,0) is an empty rectangle? These are not easy questions to answer.

……这样似乎挺合乎逻辑。或者说，你应该用 (0,0)-(1,1) 来表示单个像素，而 (0,0)-(0,0) 表示一个空矩形吗？这些问题并不好回答。我见过讲得最好的解释之一出自《Inside Macintosh》，是我朋友 Caroline Rose 写的。这里有一段讨论，包含了 Guido 和 Caroline 对 0 和 1 的看法：https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6602497 顺便给你们留一份法庭之友简报……

对比一下[1]：> 很快我就发现，如果 Caroline [Rose，《Inside Macintosh》第一版的作者] 对某个地方理解有困难，那大概率意味着这个设计本身是有缺陷的。[1] https://www.folklore.org/Inside_Macintosh.html
