I was talking about weight vs mass
For day to day life, weight and mass might as well be the same. I love science and astronomy but I’m not buying a pound of lunch meat at the deli counter to take into space.
To me, kilometers and miles are in a similar class; I don’t have a reason to prefer one over the other. Same with kilos/pounds. Even though a kilo is more than double a pound, it’s used to measure the same kinds of things. As with Centimeters/inches, quarts/liters, yards/meters.
Metric seems to do better at measuring very small things, or very precise things, but lacks middle measures that help with day to day life like Ounces and Feet. If there was a metric foot, like a quarter or third of a meter, it would be more useful. Same if there was a metric ounce, lets say 25 grams (an actual ounce is slightly over 28 grams).

I was kind of indifferent to rule breaking at the sub level but always careful to avoid rule breaking at the site level and not one of my appeals was ever upheld.
