Louis,
Please correct your statement above. I'm certain you do not mean the
statement as written.
Your statement might mislead beginners to believe that the newton and the
kilogram are units of the same quantity, but which would the quantity be,
mass or force?
Certainly, "advanced people" (people who understand SI) do not confuse
mass (unit = kilogram) and force (unit = newton)!
Please know that I maintaining complete confidence in your thorough
understanding of SI, even though this prod might sting a bit.
