Well, yes, a scale showing .205k makes more sense.
In your example, the 2k ohm range doesn't mean anything. It can be 200k and the display could read .205k, however, the unit doesn't display 'k' leaving it to the viewer/user to assume there is a 'k' in there.
In the current configuration (without a 'k'), to me, it somewhat implies it's 0.205 * 2k or 410ohms.
I understand what you're saying, it just seems like a really odd way to show a precise measurement by not telling the viewer a 'k' is in there.
