I would agree that choosing 1991 as a starting point for a Moore's Law relation on Project Gutenberg production is arbitrary.
Arbitary refers to the choice of something without any particular reason for the decision and there are two very non-arbitary reasons for choosing 1991 that have been mentioned quite thoroughly without being refuted by any better model.
The one reason being that any other year was proven not to work. The other reason I forgot. I'm against "Laws" that work only on fridays with full moon. -- Marcello Perathoner webmaster@gutenberg.org
