No, the accusation is that many people are clods who cannot do math and as a result there are some who do not factor in the BP when bidding. The information is right there, they are just incapable of using it. Which is why many sites show the BP number alongside the bid number. Heritage has long done this. You click on a bid there and you see the precise total cost of the bid plus BP. More to the point, the question is why engage in a cumbersome method when a single price WYSIWYG would be cleaner and easier? The answer can only be that it grants the AH some sort of small edge to do it that way, like a casino adding another 0 space to a roulette wheel.
