Ezra & list:
Those who promote decimal time are impeding metrication. Decimal time
> shall
>> not be linked to the International System of Units.
If bridging & unifying an area of 'science & technology' impedes progress -
for a later chaos and expense on exchequor - Le Systeme Internationale
d'Unites can take a decision to allow and/or adopt ANY MEASUREMENTS: why in
United States alone, BUT by all countries?
Why THINK & TALK of Metrication progress? Why have REFORMS?
Every human posesses HIS right to veto!

Operant conditioning at work.
Do not reward the behaviour and will extinguish.
The problem is that humans are wired to respond very powerfully to
intermittent reinforcement (a decisive evolutionary advantage in a
hunter-gatherer society, which is how we evolved over the last 12 million
years). So, it only takes one person responding every once in a while to
keep the behaviour going. :-(
