Default Why to audio interfaces overstate the number of inputs?

https://www.amazon.com/Focusrite-Sca...y&sr=8-34&th=1

Like this product that claims to have 18 inputs, but I only see 8, or 12 if you count the combo jacks as 2 each. So where are the other inputs?

EDIT: So I see there is optical as well as S/PDIF and MIDI.

I guess maybe it's the 4 mic inputs, 4 line-in, 2 S/PDIF, 1 MIDI, and 7 optical.

Cool, that's what I was starting to think after I saw one that didn't seem to count the MIDI input. I'm glad they're not counting that. I guueess it makes sense, but it's annoying having to look at the actual pictures to see things that I can plug my dumb plugs into.
