When I think of block size I think of disk blocks, and when I think of
pages I think of memory pages. Unfortunately, neither is a database
page.

I guess my point is that we have heap pages and index pages, but no one
calls them heap blocks or index blocks, and I am not sure I would know
what they meant if they said that.
