Various seed questions

I'm wondering why the map and game seeds for randomly generated games always differ by one digit. I recently played 31416 (both map & game seeds), and I didn't see any problems. I understand various reasons for making the map & game seeds different, but I can't think of any reason why the game-generated default would always be to make them 1 digit different. Why not the same? Or why not two randomly different numbers? Also, I've seen some threads where people have talked about seeds, but I'm curious if there is any thread that focuses on comparing "famous number" seeds. Some obviously famous numbers would be pi, e, 42, 1, etc., and I suspect people have played and discussed such seeds, but is there a thread (here or anywhere on the web) that any of you know about that focuses on comparing "famous" seeds? And, finally, if anyone has any particular favorite seed or weird seed stories to share, I'd be happy to hear them (or, direct me to a thread where people are already doing this). BTW: I play Civ6. Probably won't try 7 for at least a year.
