But it does highlight that the common terminology is imperfect and breaks the regularity that scientists come to expect when working with physical units in calculations
Scientists and engineers dont actually expect much, they make a lot of mistakes, are not very rigorous, not demanding towards each others. It is common for Units to be wrong, context defined, socially dependent and even sometimes added together when the operator + hasn't been properly defined
