This whole thread is confusing to me as well. Isn't the whole point of a kibibyte to work in increments of 1024, unlike kilo, which is actually 1000, as defined by the sciences long ago?
So 1024 * 256 is 256 KiB by definition, since a Kibibyte is literally 1024 bytes, and the number of Kilobytes will by higher, since the number it represents is smaller.
