    Well, there’s your problem. That the base units don’t fit into each other neatly.

      They do until someone decides to mix systems. Feet and miles are two different base units. Like I tried to express, it’s like saying metric is stupid if I decide to define kilometers in feet. Its the same thing, but older when you try define miles and acres in feet. Stick to 640 fractional.
