1024 B = 1 kibibyte (KiB), not 1 kilobyte (KB).

The divider should be set to 1000, which would make the current sizes valid, or the terms used should be updated to those in the binary set (KiB, MiB, GiB).

但是这个是显示给普通用户看的,而不是给计算机科学家看的。

It does not matter who it is shown to. The measurements are invalid.

在普通用户眼里是不太能分清两者区别的,更习惯用KB。

In that case, the divisor should be changed to 1000, not kept at 1024.

I take your point. 我同意你的说法。

Could you add some flag to control units - ISOs kibibytes (1000) vs metric kilobytes (1024)?
