You're basically saying that prefixes like kilo- have a context-dependent meaning - usually 1000, but sometimes 1024. We know how well that worked out historically, right? e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ounce https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ounce "the international troy ounce is equal to exactly 31.1034768 grams", "The international avoirdupois ounce is defined as exactly 28.349523125 g", "A fluid ounce (abbreviated fl oz, fl. oz. or oz. fl.) is a unit of volume equal to about 28.4 ml in the imperial system or about 29.6 ml in the US system". By not respecting the definition that kilo = 1000, you are deliberately sowing confusion and undermining the metric system as a simple, consistent, universal measurement system.
