IT people can do/say whatever to their advantage...

Received the follow from the old school's e-mail account:

   With immediate effect, you may now save up to 50% of your 
   printing units if you choose duplex printing (printing on 
   both sides) on the B/W laser printers:

   - if the number of pages printed is even, the number of 
     printing units deducted from you print quota will be 
     0.5 times the number of pages printed.
   - if the number of pages printed is odd, the number of 
     printing units deducted will be 0.5 times (the number
     of pages printed + 1).

I mean, this policy is fair enough. But I could still remember the reason they gave for not having this discount:
to encourage printing of finalized articles which are more carefully read and verified and to discourage printing of draft copies.

Of course I knew the actual reason behind, although I couldn't do anything and I still can't do anything. But, are we all fooled by the support?
