:: If anything it ''highlights'' the evidence that "primes seem to avoid being followed by another prime with the same final digit" (citing from the motivational article) -- because we now can just glance at the diagonal in the frequencies table and see it right away, whereas normalizing each row separately to the 100% helps to accentuate the difference. Funny how perceptions can be totally different for different people. And of course including the one-off cases for primes below 10 seems to make very little sense because there's no repeated appearances for them at all, as there are for the other digits among the millions - or billions - of primes. So yeah, transition 2 -> 3 is ''''extremely'''' rare, so what? It's one-off anyway; it' uninteresting. Just my opinion. -- [[User:WillNess|WillNess]] ([[User talk:WillNess|talk]]) 17:13, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
