      Yup. One would start with that and then (hopefully) agree on a standard that is hopefully metric.

          If we’re knocked back to reinventing measurements we’ll probably reinvent the cubit along with the foot. If you’re building something by yourself you don’t need to be universally consistent, just internally so.

        Yup. One would start with that

        One would start measuring one meter using three feet, you mean? Until we can establish an exact measurement of one meter?
