Default 0.002 cents != 0.002 dollars

Sometimes you have to wonder about some companys and their sales team. Why is it so hard to understand that 0.002 cents is different from 0.002 dollars?

(.002 (U.S. cents / kb)) times 35 893 kb = 0.71786 U.S. dollars

(.002 (U.S. dollars / kb)) times 35 893 kb = 71.78600 U.S. dollars

What kind of people struggle with that sort of concept?
