Ahhhhh! That is because we humans do not process information in the same
way as computers do, Grasshopper. :-)

In newsgroup postings I anticipate either human readers or someone's
artificial intelligence experiment. Humans would never make the
presumption that I meant anything except 2000. The information is
context sensitive and the human mind understands the meaning of the
symbol. If someone's AI experiment can't deal with it, they need to go
back to the drawing board. :-)
