You want a real life example...ask NASA. | I'm fairly certain I mentioned that the academic and scientific communities adhere to the international standard of SI units, and NASA certainly falls under that purview.
Honestly, I think you're just being a pedantic jerkass. Anyone with any sense could tell that I wasn't advocating a lack of standards entirely, but was pointing out the lack of benefit in the forced switching of a nation of 300M+ citizens to an entirely different standard than they currently use. |
