Languages are validated by their use. All other interpretations of their value are abstractions from the only real metric, that people use it and it is alive in that way. We don’t speak dead languages and we don’t adopt them either.

By this logic, the Imperial System is the best measurement system for the US (pick whatever entrenched system you want). Whether you agree or disagree with it, it's the most widely used in US so its superiority there is self-evident.

  I agree that the Imperial System is superior to the Metric System just from the point of view of human usability.

  You are free to pick up the better system in your opinion but if you want interoperability and consistency with other US measurers then you may have issues.
