From what I can tell, you're using definition of the units? In that case K doesn't equal that equation, but it is in units of that equation.

    I'm not sure of the semantic difference. When I think "a meter is the distance travelled by light in X seconds" I think m = c/299792458 s, same with Kelvin.

    Mixing unit definitions with formulae for things measured in those units is what's confusing, I think. That equation doesn't define kelvin, it defines temperature measured in kelvin.
