Well, McAllister has already explained it. Real-world step and GURPS step aren't the same, as GURPS step can consist of two actual steps. CA technically provides two GURPS steps, not two real-world steps.
Otherwise it would be useless for those characters which are already capable of 2-yard step.

If I CA with Move 7, I can step twice, which means that I could turn the first step into standing from kneeling and the second into moving one hex. If I CA with Move 17, I can step twice, covering a total of 4 hexes (as each step is two yards), or only two if I need to turn one of the steps into standing from kneeling.
That's exactly how I read it. I hope Kromm will visit this thread and set the record straight.
