As they say: Is that a lot? I hate the way headlines measure things in useless units, just to get a bigger exponent. Why didn't they say it was 19000 trillion

As they say: Is that a lot? I hate the way headlines measure things in useless units, just to get a bigger exponent. Why didn't they say it was 19000 trillion teaspoons? That's just as easy -- i.e. impossible -- to visualize. I think a possibly easier-to-visualize description is enough water to cover the whole state of Texas six inches deep.
