There is no way the pint can be an honest measure.  As long as it is allowed to take on different meanings it can never be relied upon as an accurate unit.  It can and always will be a slang term for a glass.   The increased use of the metric system world-wide has helped confuse and befuddle the meaning of not only the pint of every single unit outside of SI.      I will repeat, in no way or in no place does the use of the pint help with honest and fair dealing amongst beer drinkers.
