Exactly, if you want to market the metric system, you have to show its
simplicity.  KISS-Keep It Simple Stupid is the rule.  There are only 8 units
that one would need to learn for daily life: 4 units of length (km, m, cm,
mm), 2 units of weight (kg, g), and 2 units of volume (L, mL).  The clearest
advantage is in volumes, because the current hodge-podge of 4 units that
don't relate to one another in any logical way, could be reduced to 2.
