To be sure. But I think Mr. McGrath missed the point. No one is arguing
that one must work in metric. Rather, the issue is the native database
units. We, as users, do not necessarily see these units. If they were in
metric as has been suggested, we could have exact conversions; if they are
in inches, conversions will always be approximate.
