1b. Are certain lists more controversial than others

I think the theory is that a number imparts a certain sense of "importance" to the item labelled "1" that an item labelled "a" or even "-" does not.
Or something like that.
I love lists personally, and numbering conventions, but then I spend a lot of time reading tax law. What DOES piss me off is people who can't format a list properly in a formal document.
I'm sure that Tyler Toffoli can do that, and if he can't he can score lotsa goals for us instead.
