... you seem to prefer to swallow up (or put up) with this clear flaw in the SI system
Sorry, but days, hours and minutes are not part of SI and have never been intended to be. They do not represent a flaw in SI. If anything, they represent a flaw in the way we measure the time of day. The uses to which scientific and technical time measurements (and units) are used are so different from the ways in which time of day is used that there does not seem to be any reason why the two need to be (or can be) coordinated or reconciled.
It's not a flaw in SI because it is not part of SI at all, and therefore is not of much interest to proponents of SI (many of whom are members of USMA and subscribers to this list).
