The first part of each equation is true. The second parts define the pound and
inch respectively, not the kilogram and centimeter.
The pound and inch have no definition other than their declared definitions by
the metric system. Their physical artifacts were retired in 1893.

Just to be clear, the values, themselves, arenʼt changing, just
the objects/concepts that define the values are.
E.g.,
1 kg_2018 = 1 kg 2016 = 1/.45359237 pounds, exactly;
1 cm_2018 = 1 cm_2016 = 1/2.54 inches, exactly.
Right?
