"""When I've got two similar but non-identical files, and I think that the difference between their sizes might be important."""

Doesn't sound like a default case to me.

Seems obvious that you're responding to "when would you not want human-readable file sizes?" which was a question never asked.

I think it's obvious that you're bikeshedding minor parts of my comments. As I originally stated, the whole thing is a "silly nitpick" about something that I (quite honestly) only have a weak preference toward.

So, yes, I concede that my posts weren't composed with exquisite clarity, and they aren't devoid of opportunity for misunderstanding. You win.
