No you are not crazy, in fact I was thinking of exactly the same thing. As you should know Benford's Law can be applied from everything to date; mass of stars, even to test if someone has made up search results when conducting research, like if the amount of values 1,2,3,4, is less than 5 onwards - misweighting of numbers usually confers made up results . The formula is presented below, {10} refers to base '10' logarithm

P(d)=log{10}(d+1)-log{10}(d)
