Blame the storage manufacturers who have redefined MB for all intents
and purposes. Also, I am surprised that you have never seen it before,
it's not all that exotic.

The chances of anit-MiB nazis vandalizing this particular article are
slim ;)

It's handy (just type "MiB" into the Firefox search box), easier to read
than an RFC or similar and tech articles are rarely very wrong. As a
critical reader you will have no problem finding and following the links
to outside references (and draw you conclusions if there are none or if
they contradict Wikipedia). I fail to see the problem.
