The author decidedly has expert syndrome -- they deny both the history and rational behind memory units nomenclature. Memory measurements evolved utilizing binary organizational patterns used in computing architectures. While a proud French pedant might agree with the decimal normalization of memory units discussed, it aligns more closely to the metric system, and it may have benefits for laypeople, it fails to account for how memory is partitioned in historic and modern computing.

Yes, tomato's ARE actually a fruit.

But really!?

I'll keep calling it in nice round powers of two, thank you very much.

Yes. Tomatoes are a fruit because the science says so. That non-scientific people call it something else does not change facts.

Knowledge is understanding that tomatoes are a fruit. Wisdom is understanding that they don't belong in a fruit salad.

Or...

Knowledge is understanding that ketchup is tomato jelly. Wisdom is refraining from putting it on your peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

How is it a jelly? It lacks any defining feature of jelly.
