This *should* be true since Blender should make a sphere of radius 1, 
except that as far as I can tell, it makes a sphere with a default 
radius of 1.41.  IMHO all primitive shapes should start out in simple 
units, to make precise editing easier.

I think the idea you're referring to is using the size parameter to 
affect the dimensions of an object in a nice, precise way, so for 
example a default cube that hasn't been modified in EditMode can become 
a 2x8 table just by setting SizeX to s and SizeY to 8.  Very useful.
