Oh, I thought you were complaining that the value was numerically wrong.

Perhaps we should convert the documentation to show the defaults in a
units-ified way, but if so it needs to be done consistently. Most of
the entries seem not to have been changed; for example shared_buffers
is still described in blocks.
