Bill Hooper asks why not keep the cubic decimeter, cubic metre,
cubic millimetre etc. which are strictly SI.
No, I did not. I merely asked to keep the cubic metre and not replace
it with the kilolitre.
I said nothing about the others you mention. I do have some thoughts
on those, but those thoughts have no bearing on my argument for NOT
using the kilolitre.
That argument is:
because
(1) the kilolitre is identically the same as a cubic metre
(which most decidedly IS a proper SI unit),
and
(2) there is no reason to have two names (and two symbols) for the
same unit.
