Laugh. I looked it up, it's the standard. I guess it's
sort of like the whole "quarter thing", except in reverse. With meat, it starts at near-exact X weight, and reduces down to a non-exact weight when you cook it, but it's still called "X lbs". Whereas with timber, it starts at non exact dimensions of AXB, then it's planed down to near-exact smaller dimmensions but is still called AXB.
Lame.
