Yes, that is exactly the case. The metric system is also present in
everything that is measured in the US, also hidden to the public. Those
DOT's who have reverted to ifp will still use metric, in a very crooked way
of course. I am sure that this person has never heard of the Mendenhall
Order and the1959 agreement.

Maybe, just maybe the 40 % of the companies that are metric carry the
economic load of the other 60 % that aren't. Plus all of our technological
developments happened in laboratories where metric is used. It seems the
metric system is behind every success story, directly or indirectly, even if
the public is blinded to it.
