Evaluating a Proposed Simplification

A machine learning engineer is using the following equation to determine the scaling factor λ for extending a language model's context window:

2π(λb)2(d21)d=mml2πb2(d21)d2\pi \cdot (\lambda b)^{\frac{2(\frac{d}{2}-1)}{d}} = \frac{m}{m_l} \cdot 2\pi \cdot b^{\frac{2(\frac{d}{2}-1)}{d}}

The engineer proposes a simplification: since the term involving the original base b and dimensionality d appears on both sides, they claim it can be cancelled out, leaving a much simpler relationship to solve. Is the engineer's proposed simplification mathematically valid? Explain why or why not, based on the structure of the equation.
