Haha...
Let's look at it another way...

let's say you can write 200 words on a stamp with a 1mm pen. But suddenly they decide to reduce the size of the stamp with 50%, so if you continue using the 1mm pen, you can only write 100 words on the new stamps...
Wouldn't it be fair to say that, assuming that the new smaller stamps have become the new standard, if you start using a 0.5mm pen, you can double the amount of words on the new stamps..?
It all depends how you look at it. Of course the 200 words written with the 0.5mm pen will be smaller than with the 1mm pen, but the amount of information will be the same.

Or is this just more confusing..? ;o)
Maybe I have been too long out of bed already to do this sort of post...
