It's because inhabitants of metric land neglect the decimeter, probably because it's too awkward of a word. Define 1 metric hand = 1 decimeter, and you can cleanly convert between hands and meters (it's just a factor of 10 in

CSP is optional and designed to be one part of a defense-in-depth strategy (to extent that it was thoughtfully designed at all—it's an awful standard that should not have made it past proposal stage). It's not a solution for sand
