Each system, like all systems, have their pros and cons. This particular one has me torn. From a maths standpoint metric wins. From a real world standpoint imperial wins.
Ther is no right or wrong, only thinking makes it so.
@Tfmonkey @Chimi_Chuang_Tzu Well, according to Google AI and this video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOMD_I5s4gE ) , it was considered as an option. But it would've had the same problems as switching to metric. Confusion and cost. The French created metric specifically to run the new system under a different name and avoid confusion. It's like when a country adopt a new currency after a hyper inflation correction. Hungary's hyperinflated Pengő to Forint (1 forint for 4 × 10²⁹ pengő): https://studyinhungary.hu/blog/forint-the-hungarian-currency
@Chimi_Chuang_Tzu @SilentSeeker we could have had the best of both worlds by taking the yard, making it base-10 (centi-yards, miliyards, kiloyards) and adding it to the imperial system.
