What I personally find disturbing is how irrational positions such as yours are commonly accepted in a supposedly advanced society. It leads to a pretty bumpy road, time and time again.
But since we‘re talking politics: it were the „progressive“ Bauhaus proponents like Corbusier, that proclaimed that what we build should use human scale as foundation of measurement. What OP said is exactly that.
But I also find unlikely you support the metric system, at least other than for white knighting random strangers that you happen to agree with.
This is, frankly, insulting. You may disagree about the merits of blhack's arguments, but that doesn't make them illogical or unreasonable.
It would be one thing if you said, "Here's why I think blhack has got it wrong, and why the arguments presented don't hold water." But you just tossed an insult without bothering to refute. Bad form.
Imperial units are just better for humans to use. I would love if somebody could give me a redeeming quality for metric, but so far nobody has.
1/10th of a meter gets you a lot of the same usability as a foot measurement, but now adding centimeters onto that is more straightforward. A lot easier to calculate for measuring space for furniture, height, etc. . .
