This WSJ article is not the worst I have seen, but it is typical of the
generally worthless "touchy-feely" articles that even the best journals
now engage in. Where are the hard data?
Where are the hard data about metric commerce? Where are the hard data
about the cost of maintaining dual inventories? Where are the hard data
about how many U.S. industries have already gone metric, like the
automotive industry, but without using metric units in advertising (except
for the Chevy Volt). What about the conversion of the household lighting
industry last January to fully metric data on CFL packaging?
Yes, the WSJ could have done a much better job if it purports to represent
American business.
