User blog:Xelistren/Math vs realism

so yea noticed that the exact size of a single block is bad, 1 block can not equal 1 cubic meter not just because of comparison to people but also against blocks that have cut outs like the thrones, cannons, I- Beams, ETC. so I started doing some quick math and this is the results. 1,1,1 equates to 9.6",9.6",9.6" this makes a 1,1,1 smaller then a single foot and as a 2,2,2 it becomes 1.6',1.6',1.6' or just over 4 cubic feet or 0.113267 cubic meters. this is a severe difference and should show that to maintain integrity of the wiki either out of game conversions should be avoided when possible and if not possible annotate that the measurements are 1 block not the out of game measurement. the problem with out of game measurements is that without an exact block to real world conversion it is likely that info may be smudged to be in the favor of who posted it not those who reads it.
