Actually it is. The difference is that while a value coming in the right 
inlet will *only* be stored, with a value in the left inlet the value 
will be stored, the operation perfomed ( in this case multiplication) 
and the result output through the outlet.
To try this out connect a numberbox and a bang to the left inlet, send a 
value and then send a bang, you see that the last value sent was also 
stored.
