The cultural relationship with time is more important than its absolute measurement.

This was the statement at the top of this discussion. It values the local concept of what time should be over an objective measurement of what time is.

The proposed change wouldn't cause much of a problem. But the idea under the statement I quoted would.

Your last point is wrong, at least as you have stated it. Evaporation time is based on surface area, and the required power is based on volume, but you expressed the amount of water as a length.

Still, metric is way better.

Interesting. That's a good origin, and makes sense. They should have explained that a bit in the article, though.

Thanks for the extra info.

Sad thing is we knew before the election that he needled easily. Whoever decided to stop doing that during the campaign needs to be taken for some wall to wall counseling.
