...probably somebody who hates SI units for some unknown reason and uses his intelligence to construct a couple of ridiculous "arguments" supposed to show that this system of units had holes.

If I follow this guy's rule, I could also argue: 1 Hz = radians Hz = radians^2 Hz = radians^3726 Hz. Similarly, 1 s = radians s = 1 radians s. That's independent of the definition of Hz and seconds and can be constructed whenever you can replace numerical "1" with something else. Where's the point? What links radians to seconds? But hey, guys, sshhh... don't tell this guy that you could also write Hz = s^-1 because then he'd start with 1 Hz = "seconds to the power of a negataive radiant" which clearly shows that SI units are utterly perverse!
