The newbies are already being confused because the General Class question
pool contains the One-S-Unit-Equals-Four-Times rule in lots of places.

There are lots of inconsistencies and ambiguities in this business.
Frankly, I would settle for just a little consistency.  Pick a
definition--any definition--but then stick with it.  Moving targets are
always tough.
