You don't understand what implicit conversion is. The Mars Climate Orbiter failed because an input was given in Newtons but expected in pounds, and the type of the variables was the same (float or whatever), so the compiler could not

The point could be taken in the other way, as in "hey at least you don't have to live in a house made of dirt, right?" Comparably you are much better off, so there is no point in complaining. They made it work. Sure it wasn&#
