  I gotta say, you make some fair points.

  It’s a lot of memorization that I simply haven’t done and won’t ever have to do.

  The fraction reduction doesn’t help intuitive thought. If imperial operated on ‘significant digits’ and marked any set or document with a 64th always as 64ths, as in 16/64ths, I’d be more on board.

  We just need to replace out base 10 system of counting with base 12 and we’d get the best of both worlds!

  How would you convert to e.g nautical miles?
