<li id="f1">The reason they are numbered 0, 1, 2 and 3 is historical. Around |
| 560 |

1990 there were three freedoms, numbered 1, 2 and 3. Then we realized that |
| 561 |
|

It was clearly more basic than the other three, so it properly should |
| 563 |
|
precede them. Rather than renumber the others, we made it freedom 0.</li> |
