Thanks.

Ok, I see. So my terminology "digit-unbiased" is the same as what they
call "b-normal" for base b=10. And if a number is digit-unbiased for
all bases (why should base 10 have any preferential treatment here --
it shouldn't) that's what they call "absolutely normal".

And as I suspected. they don't know much about which numbers are
normal -- all they know is most numbers are normal, which is good to
know -- I feel safer now knowing that most numbers are normal.
