Scaling Factors

I am reading about Scaling Factors in Help section and this part is really confusing. These seems to be contradict with each other.

The first says 1/m is scaled but the second one says no!

  • Model (instance) parameters containing units of 1/m are divided by scalem (scale).
  • Parameters that use the units cm (1/cm, cm2, ...) and m (1/m, m2, ...) are not scaled. For example, vmax, which contains the unit m/sec, is scaled by scalem, but ucrit, which has the unit V/cm, is not scaled. Similarly, nsub, which has the unit 1/cm3, is not scaled by scalem.
