Ralph,
Another, or an "again" way of saying what has been said is:
You are assuming that the K2 sees the Bencher and computer keying as 
the same. If that were the case, they would be....the same.

The K2 does NOT see the Bencher and the computer as the same. It sees 
the Bencher as triggering the K2's internal keyer and applies what 
ever weighting that implies. It sees the computer as a straight key 
so the dit/dah ratio is what ever you apply sending by hand. Except 
it is not your hand that is sending. It's the computer software 
program. So the weighting of of the computer program controls its 
keying ratio when sending by keyboard and the weighting of the K2's 
internal keyer controls the Bencher ratio when sending by paddle.

Paul
