As much as I respect Dijkstra, I never accepted this as something that makes sense, it is ugly remnant from older times where calculations were precious and it was considered smart to put number that you would add to base address, to calculate array address.
This is not commonly held belief. I am in minority but this is what makes sense and I always believed that computers should serve us, not the other way around.
