"But show me evidence of a Selectric ball that has proportionally spaced alpha superscripts from that time period."

Oh duh. You claim essentially zero experience with Selectrics of that time period, but say you don't believe their number one selling point? Other than the proportional space, that is. Other than the basic character set, the whole point of the Selectrics was the ability to do special characters. Hence their name... That was the whole point behind the easily replaceable ball.
