inch-ounces is a daft unit to use, I think they use it to get bigger,
more impressive numbers. I am not even sure that the once is a
"proper" unit for force. (I will accept the pound as a unit of weight
and force, but reject it as a unit of mass)

It beats kg.cm, though, that is just completely wrong.
