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.
