Yes, I recall being very confused when I first saw that phrase in Three Worlds Collide. To this day I don't know why people use "multiply" instead of "calculate".
I have always assumed it derived from modeling expected-value calculations as the product of likelihood-of-scenario and value-of-scenario.
