True enough. It's just that there's this divide between at least two camps of roleplayers.

One wants to use any and all game stats as relative measures v. other game entities with no connection to RW objects. I once had a fellow with a Traveller background tell me that an X-Wing was like a 100 dTon ship.

Then there's another camp (possibly quite a small one) that makes connecctions between things and figures out things they imply. If you tell me that 1 whatever is 500 sq. ft. for purposes of drawing deckplans then that has firm implications for the ship's exterior as well as its' interior.
