If you took a random letter in the alphabet and then sampled from any letter before this letter you would get more samples from the earlier letters of the alphabet. That is because the two step process discards higher letters in the first step. This is not a uniform distribution and is not Bensford's law. It's just a weird two step process that over-samples earlier letters.

You are right, it would — but that’s not how it works. People don’t sample words by beginning with AAA and moving on to larger ones. So your point is just being put out there to “win”?
