This is interesting. Suppose the task is to use this approach (index * stride) to pick every third item from a list of 9 items: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9].

With 1-indexing: Multiply the sequence of valid indices (1, 2, 3, ...) by the stride (3) and use the result to 1-index into the given list. Returns [3, 6, 9].

With 0-indexing: Multiply the sequence of valid indices (0, 1, 2, ...) by the stride (3) and use the result to 0-index into the given list. Returns [1, 4, 7].

0-indexing has the start point of the return values fixed to the origin. 1-indexing has its start point float around depending on the stride. Both work, but have different emergent properties in the given example.
