The argument for metric has always revolved around the arbitrary beginnings of the standardization for imperial units. It's pretty moot now because both metric and imperial measurements are standardized and controlled to very tight standards both equal. Metric has it's place. One thing is for sure, discussion always gets spirited between the two proponents. Support for metric is near nonexistent in most areas around my little part of the world. If I have to work with metric I can but I have to convert to decimal which is how I measure.
