Rockwell 6S plate design question

I love my shiny Rockwell but why are the 6S plates arranged as 1/3, 2/4, 5/6?
(rather than 1/2, 3/4, 5/6).
I'm guessing it's their take on mild, medium, aggressive and some sort of use-case analysis?
Just a bit of a niggle to my Engineers sensibilities...
Sorry to sound negative but i don’t get your point what’s the difference ?

I was indeed asking myself the very same question a while back.
After doing some reading it is all to do with the incremental difference between plates. The jump form 1 to 2 is not very noticeable for the user as is 1 to 3. The Rockwell is also sold as Rockwell 2C configuration when it only comes with one plate (1 &3).
So their decision was based in line with their product line availability and feedback received during R&D stage.
 
What a satisfyingly good answer and understandable reasoning to what at first glance seems a very puzzling question. I don't know why but this makes me feel warm inside knowing that someone has researched and thought about the user experience rather than taken the obvious path. I feel a 'pleased Jean Luc Picard' meme coming on.
