Where does Chuck Peddle come into this ? Didn't he invent the 6502, and
was that processor specifically designed for the Commodore Pet ?

Oooh. Err. I remember those funny instructions on the 6502. The parts
that I was using (10 y ago) had the inc and dec instructions swapped
round! (65C12 and 50743 IIRC)
