Change Default Offset Value of Exponential Continuous Random.vi to zero

[X.]

The polymorphic "Continuous Random.vi" function

is a polymorphic VI with 18 instances.

The Help is at best sketchy as far as describing what the input parameters are, and to aggravate things, there seems to be no logic in the name given the inputs of the different instances of the function.

The Exponential distribution instance has for example two parameters, a and b:

Illuminating contextual Help if there was any, but the detailed help is about as useful:

Translation: the PDF of the variate is p(X) = 1/b * exp(-(X-a)/b), X > a; 0 otherwise.

I will not comment on the surrealistic definition of a Poisson process. 

I am not sure why the need to include parameter a, but I am sure that setting the default value of that parameter to 1 is non standard.

I suggest setting it to zero, disregarding any back-compatibility argument, as I suspect most users of the function have learned the hard way to set a = 0 after having stared incredulously at the first few results obtained using the default value.
