You know, I've figured out why people don't understand frame sizes. It's not just poor spacial sense. It's the clothing industry.
People shop for clothes more than they shop for framing. (That is, if you're not me.) Clothing sizes are not based on reality. So someone may see 16X20 and assume that it either runs small or that you can squeeze in a little extra if you have to, or leave the back off, or something...when in fact this is not the case.
People are merely trained to see numerical sizes as fudgeable. This does not make my life easier.
