Scaling an ordinary function scales both the magnitude and the frequency axis of the fourier transform, but when impulses are involved, scaling the argument of the impulse leads to a magnitude scaling that exactly compensates for the magnitude scaling imposed on the fourier transform, and leaves the fourier coefficients unchanged.
