Query: Intuitive Considerations Clarifying the Origin and Applicability of the
  Benford Law   The diverse applications of the Benford law attract investigators working in
various fields of physics, biology and sociology. At the same time, the
groundings of the Benford law remain obscure. Our paper demonstrates that the
Benford law arises from the positional (place-value) notation accepted for
representing various sets of data. An alternative to Benford formulae to
predict the distribution of digits in statistical data are derived. Application
of these formulae to the statistical analysis of infrared spectra of polymers
is presented. Violations of the Benford Law are discussed.
