The 'false precision' argument only works if you ignore how Significant Figures work. Nobody writes 9 decimetres after all, they put 90cm. 90cm no more confers false precision than 900mm.Long numbers are not in any way more awkward than decimal points. Australia again gives a good example in construction: all dimensions are in millimetres. No cm, no metres, all mm. You have a 12m long wall, it's 12 000mm. Want to get an exact bit between two studs avoiding a pipe attached to the side of one? 11 952mm. 11.952m is awkward, as is 119.52cm.There are plenty of daily use cases where you need measurement precision finer than available with a cm, so inevitable you end up having to put a decimal point in there.Rather than continuing to rant, I'll defer to existing ranting.
