Yes. Took me a bit to catch on too :)

the K = Kill and is used in shutdowns
the S = Start and is used at bootup

These in turn dictate what args /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit gives the script
and how the script builds up a list of things to start up and shut down.

The number is nothing more then a way to get rc.sysinit to start the 
scripts up in a certain order.

    There was farting in the air that night,
        It lit so bright,
