New Password Rules

I'm not sure this is the best place to post this observation, but I'm not sure what would be better. The other day the sign-on software asked me to declare a new Apple ID password. In the description of the rules for a password were these statements:

contains at least one numeral
contains at least one character

It apparently didn't occur to the person who wrote that text that a numeral is a character. The second line should have stated "at least one alphabetic character".
