Thanks, Pal, I am aware!
As I said:
.....a closer approximation would be 541.5m. Say, World Metric Tower can
have its height at 542m or whatever THINK TANKS decide.
is what I wrote!
This would maintain the number 1776, too.

Brij:
There is supposed to be symbolism involved in choosing the height of the
tower - but it is lost on 95% of the world, since they do not understand
feet.
The number 1776 is supposed to symbolize freedom, since it is the year the
US gained independence from England. I don't think the designers had
promoting the use of SI in mind when they chose this height.
