Have you actually used their system? Or even been to the website?

The numbers aren't automatically scaled; they tell you what measurements to take and how to take them, then the pattern is automatically adjusted to your actual measurements. You can download large format patterns or get them split up into A4 pages that you can print at home and tape together.

It doesn't matter how much of an expert you are if you have done nothing more than read the headline before racing into the comments to shit on it.

This is called grading. Except that it doesn't actually work quite like that; you can't just dump new numbers into an existing sloper (or block, depending on which term you were taught) and expect to be able to make it fit correctly without extensive edjustment. Grading works pretty okay when you're talking about smaller sizes (for women, that would be commercial sizes 00-4 or so, roughly size 6-12 for true sizing), but does not work well when you're just plugging in numbers past that very limited range.
