I do remember the original point. See what google has just found for me:

"One really stupid thing about PeeCee keyboards is that manufacturers
even realized that putting caps-lock on home row was a bad idea because
people kept hitting it with the 'a' key. Did they move it? No, that
would be too sensible. They carved a little piece of it off to leave a
bigger gap. So now if I re-map a standard PC-10* keyboard so that
left-control is in a sensible place, it is still harder to use than it
should be :("

Please note that the text above confirms both things: A) the key left to
'A' is real close and can be pressed accidentaly together with 'A', but
also B) the Control key is better at the position where Atari put it
since users of PC keyboard with CapsLock there try to remap the Control
key there.
