The Apple ‘16′ is what inspired the name 16 Sector. In the beginning days of the Apple ][, when the Disk ][ drive shipped, the disk format was 13 sectors. With the introduction of DOS 3.3 they increased this to 16 sectors and provided a couple sheets of these little small stickers that meant "16 sector Apple DOS formatted diskette".
Well, what they really should have done back then, since 16 sectors was the newly introduced format and it was likely to be the prevailing one, they should have provided stickers that said "13" instead of "16", so that you could have labeled those few/remaining/soon to be 'rare' 13 sector diskettes you would have to deal with.
Does that mean we would have been called 13 Sector instead?
If the time space continuum had gone exactly the same, probably. Though, for the numerologists out there, 6+5+0+2 does equal 13.
