> "It's the same faulty logic behind the supposed superiority of the metric system." In grad school (applied math) it was always good for a laugh when we heard someone make a big deal out of metric. We always scaled out as much as possible to get nice dimensionless equations with the minimum number of parameters. That said, sometimes one choice of units or basic quantities is more convenient than another for a particular application. Not right or superior in a general sense, just better suited to some specific context.
