Are you serious, or are you jocking ? I can't tell really ... but what I khow now after seven years of learning is that you need references to be clearly capable to do thing together ... even war ... and If we manage to fight with weapons which need metrology of hight precision, we must be able to do things together which are not again each other ...
the word "metrology" is born in 1780, that does not mean that metrology didn't exist before but, the fact that it's been named that time isn't simple occasion, but the metric system is born with this idea of sharing knowledge and equality between men ...
In our time, considering that most of the public haven't got the simple idea that incertainty of mesurement exists ... I's maybe the time to tell it louder ;)

Dear Marie-Ange and All,
Although I don't read French at all fluently, I decided to check out Marie-Ange's doctoral thesis where I thought that I might wade through the synopsis.
Fortunately, for me, Marie-Ange provided a translation of the synopsis in English. In her synopsis Marie-Ange made a very useful distinction between three types of measurements. She discusses and distinguishes between:
1 Scientific metrology 2 Transactional metrology, and 3 Personal metrology.
Sometimes I get muddled between these three when I consider discussions on this list. Marie-Ange has made the position much clearer.
Thanks Marie-Ange.
Cheers,
