Saying “powers of two” is a universal way of denoting 2^n. It’s okay to admit being wrong rather than blaming OEIS for being vague.

- 1970-01-01 2y agoThe phrase squared is "powers of two" is much, much more common than you know. I'm part-time substituting as a grade-school teacher. Ask any if they are explaining this difference.
