The huge advantage of the metric system is not in its different choice of 1 unit of length, 1 unit of mass, etc. but in the relationships between all units. This is very useful to everyone, even to non-scientists.

Using the American customary system of measurements is like using Roman numerals - everything is possible, but harder, so science and engineering progress slower.
