Why, when 13 is regarded by some people as unlucky, do so many flights of stairs have 13 steps?

its the hight of the ceiling that guvorns the amount of steps. building regs state a step should be no more than 8" =200cm
the ceiling hight is 2.4m plus the joists, then devide by x that usually gives 13 steps most new houses have the same ceiling hight but not all houses have 13 steps .
