(Then again, I've seen dissectors that display counts in hex.  I guess
there are network engineers, or programmers, out there who have 8 fingers
on each hand....)

You may guess... But I find it sometimes very convinient to have a 
hexadecimal representation of byte counts (A.K.A length). When I use this 
byte count to see this in a hex dump, it's easy to detect the lines of hex 
dump used. The length 154 are exactly 9 lines of 16 byte each.
