> FWIW, this is a weak argument for what computers should do; if LE is more efficient for machines then let them use it
I should have fleshed it out more fully, but basically, it was about how when you design an ALU, it's literally the same number of gates whether you swap the pins when you connect it to the rest of the system or not.
Using the computer is, of course, a different story that depends a lot on design decisions made when implementing it, and depending on your usage, endianness can matter more.
