Backward compatibility of course! There is really nothing wrong with
powers of 2; it would also be a simple matter to implement another
argument if you wanted them as a pure scale instead of a power.
One advantage of powers is that you can span large ranges without
typing a big number and getting confused how many zeros there should
be.
