Same thing = putting forth 'good' numbers that are not really a true

The units of measurement are often dependent on the object being measured.
Consider "K"(ilo) vs "M"(illi). Someone used to ordering paper (measured in
"M"s) who specifies he wants a machine with "512M" of memory will not get
what he's expecting.

It is the responsibility of the buyer to conform to the industry's standard.
