The denominator isn't the issue. The context-dependent base of the logarithm is, which makes 1 Bel = 10x for some things and 1 Bel = 3.16x for others.

I've never heard of decibels used in probability theory. Did they adopt it with the same baked-in bastardizations? Please tell me +10dB(stdev) = +10dB(variance) isn't a thing.
