You'll have to ask Ansel Adams what it stands for, he's either started or
popularized the convention, I can't remember which. It's a question I've
seen posed in a number of places with no real satisfactory answer given.
Another one of those "facts" that Googling will find you, so it gets
repeated over and over until the whole world believes it. 4 years
before Ansel was born, and that probably isn't the FIRST reference:

So find the guy who started it and ask him, still the point.
