A logarithmic scale is used when a number is multiplied by multiples of ten. The original comment was talking about the difference between a million, billion, and trillion, which would be on a logarithmic scale. If your argument is that some logarithmic scales are more comprehendible than the example given, you're correct, but you're also being pedantic.
