The eternal warfare between measurement systems continues. Scientists using SI units (meters, kilograms, seconds) staring daggers at imperial enthusiasts (feet, pounds, whatever random object King Henry VIII had lying around). The scientific community standardized on SI in 1960, yet some countries cling to imperial like it's the last chocolate chip cookie at a conference buffet. Converting between systems has caused literal spacecraft to crash. NASA lost a $125 million Mars orbiter because one team used metric while another used imperial. But sure, let's keep measuring things in "football fields" because that makes perfect sense.
