"The ultimate meter stick is a meter because it is a meter."
The meter is a man made construct with an agreed upon definition. You are confusing an agreed upon definition with circular reasoning. I could check my meter stick against the agreed upon definition of a meter:
"The length of the path travelled by light in vacuum during a time interval of 1/299,792,458 of a second.",
and see by just how much my meter stick is off.
You didn't use logic or reason to get into this opinion, I cannot use logic or reason to get you out of it.
You cannot over estimate the unimportance of nearly everything. John Maxwell
