I think he is fundamentally (ha!) confused.
There is no reason for him or anybody else to think that the
redefinition of the radian has anything to do with the Hz at all:
Hz has never been defined in terms of the radian nor vice versa.
Hz is the reciprocal of time, the same exact way conductivity
(Siemens) is of resistance (Ohm) and that's all there is to that.
Yeah, the Hz rambling is confusing to the degree that I could not quite
set my finger on it.
But his rant about the Candela is spot on.
Candela is such a strange unit that it is almost cute. What was it? 1
inch candle...
Cheers,
Magnus
