That said, I'm not sure how 1-based indexing will solve off-by-1 errors. They naturally come from the fencepost problem, i.e. the fact that sometimes we use indexes to indicate elements and sometimes to indicate boundaries between them. Mixing between them in our reasoning ultimately results in off-by-1 issues.
This is an article that (among other things) talks about off-by-one errors being caused by mixing up index and count (and having to remember to subtract 1 when converting between the two). That's what it has to with it.
