Am I correct in stating that setting --size=8 will make the sectors 4k

No, you are not. As the man-page clearly states, this sets the
size of the underlying device as multiple of 512B sectors.
I submit that for the luksFormat action, the --size option does _nothing_!
Yes. Nor should it. See the man-page:
--size, -b <number of 512 byte sectors>
Force the size of the underlying device in sectors of 512 bytes.
This option is only relevant for the open and resize actions.

I do not see why this is apparently a surprise to some....
I was just pointing it out in the context of this thread, where it was
not previously mentioned as meaningless.
