What makes you think people who 0-index arrays and prefer half-open intervals count any differently? Is this argument directed at a four year old?
4+1=5 never enters into it. What a rubbish argument. I might as well complain that your [a,b] has (b-a+1) integers in it. (5-0)=5 so the half open interval has 5 things in it.
What's the measure of a real interval 1<=x<=5? 4. 0<=x<5? 5.
