Antennas led astray

wrote:

...

*ALL* units of measurement are arbitrary. Once a standard is set, that's
(if you are sane) what you use.

By that convoluted logic:

The dollar is an arbitrary unit so why strive for accuracy in your paycheck?

The inch is an arbitrary unit so why should the carpenter strive for
accuracy in matching the new door to your old door frame?

Miles per hour are based on two arbitrary units so why should the cop
give you a ticket for doing 90 in a 35 MPH zone?

The liter is an arbitrary unit so why should the maker strive to ensure
there is 2 liters of soda in a 2 liter bottle?

But, I know you are just playing word games here.

Sir:

You SERIOUSLY miss the point.

All you named there are an invention of man and man allows himself to be
governed by them ... (some don't, ever hear about income tax evasion and
prisons?)

The laws of mathematics, physics and the sciences exist in an absolute
form, somewhere ...

Warmest regards,
