I'm not sure why the proposal uses "simple seconds", "simple hours" etc. We didn't call them "metric inches" or "metric yards" but rather centimeters and meters

I'm not sure why the proposal uses "simple seconds", "simple hours" etc. We didn't call them "metric inches" or "metric yards" but rather centimeters and meters. A new naming system will be important otherwise some people are going to be really peeved to learn their "8 hour work day" is a lot longer now.

"Simple" is just the reference to the name - in my opinion the name of the new hours/minutes/seconds does not really matter - it just needs to have hours/minutes/seconds in their name and needs to be distinguishable from the current scheme.
