One anecdote in regards to the potential benefits:
I've gotten into wood working the last few years and I've found that I'm significantly less likely to make a measurement mistake when I use metric. It seems like nearly all my measurement mistakes are when I did something in imperial.
So why don't I use metric all the time? Because materials are usually sold in imperial units.
- throwawaymaths 4y agoI love metric but the binary logarithmic inches subunits are fantastic for imperial with wood: Suppose you have a 30 cm piece and you need to evenly space 5 3.5 cm-wide wood planks on the 30cm piece. The decimal calculation will take you to a resolution you likely can't measure confidently (0.25 mm)
