He has changed the numbering system to count the number of things rather than
measuring the size of things. Since the size of all the things that need to be
counted is the same, if you know the number of them you can easily compute the
total size. Sort of like counting dump truck loads of dirt rather than tons of
dirt. If we know the number of trucks we can figure out the tonnage later on.
