You might recall this childhood rhyme: Oh what a wicked web we weave
when first we practice to deceive.
Perhaps we could rephrase this as: Oh how our minds we do pervert when
first we practice to convert!
See the first few paragraphs at http://cycling-review.com/2010/01/17/bike-tire-reviews
to see how you can use old pre-metric measures to confuse yourself
almost completely before you finish up with the sane well known SI
unit – watt.
See http://www.metricationmatters.com/docs/ApproachesToMetrication.pdf
on how to avoid conversions to speed up you metric transition.
