Default Increasing (or decreasing) a block size

When I increase a block size from 6x6 to 12x12 -

doesn't it seem to be logical to say that I DOUBLE the size of the block?

But actually, the area of the block will be QUADRUPLED!

6x6 = 36
12x12 = 144


Or the other way around - when I decrease a block size from 12x12 to 6x6 -

it seems logical to me to say that I cut the size by half.

However, the area of the smaller block is only 1/4 the size of the larger block.

12x12 = 144
6x6 = 36
