Looking at it from the publisher's side (just for
kicks), your description of the original agreement didn't
specifically state that a "page" meant a particular paper
size or a set number of words. From the publisher's point
of view, *they* were "just restating the already agreed
terms" in the memo, and now, at the end of the project,
they may feel that *you* are trying to change the terms
of the agreement - after all, they've known all along what
they meant by "a page."

Absolutely.
Both sides need to know that they're talking about the same
thing.
