I don’t get this. What do moles have to do with dimensionless values?

  I think they're referring to the fact that there is one dimensionless base unit already standardized in SI: the mole. There aren't two length units, so there "shouldn't be" two dimensionless ones. (Whether they were trying to be funny or not I couldn't tell you.)

    It's a mol not a mole (sounds the same) lol (or is that lole?) "they" are not trying to amuse anyone.

      How do you know that lalaithion was not trying to amuse anyone?

      The "mole" is the unit, "mol" is the symbol for the unit, like with "kilogram" and "kg".
