I meant, of course, the character can fit under something 73 units high, leaving a 72 unit space :)

Except, of course, that a standard 6 foot character (e.g. Gordon Freeman) can fit exactly under something 72 units high :) In practice, therefore, units essentially have a "fuzzy" scale. Just depends on whether you're talking about the character (1 unit = 1 inch), or what's convenient for building structures (16 units = 1 foot) in the editor's grid.
