Description

in the New Data Table Wizard

in Define Attribute or Column

for Category

Relative (statistically interval) shows an example in meters.
This is wrong.
The Help box explains that meters are in the Absolute category (statistically ratio).

Perhaps a better example unit for the Relative category would be Celsius.

see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_of_measurement

I suggest something like this show on the page or help page:
"Most measurement in the physical sciences ... is done on ratio scales. Mass, length, time, ... energy ...."
