I'm not sure if that was intentionally making my point or not. :)
Because a kilobyte being 1024 is actually correct but sometimes
interpreted as not being so, too. (In binary, 'kilo' actually stands
for 2^10 of something, not 10^3. They end up being numbers that can be
approximated by the decimal equivalents, but they aren't quite the same.)
