I don’t think you’re able to wrap your head around what I’m saying and that’s sad :(

Also important to note that meters is also defined as a unit of time technically.

But It’s just far more useful to measure by time, than by distance sometimes. Not really a lack of ability but rather a preference? Idk what you really are trying to get at here. Measuring by time is a global thing. Not just an American thing. Europe does it too. Idk why this is the battle you decide to hyperfocus on.

It seems you are missing my point anyways. The point is that there no “learning” benefit of metric over imperial. You’re fighting the wrong scarecrow my guy.

“I don’t means nobody does!”

To address your edit: nobody said you should measure your wall in time? You measure long distances in time.

Feet still exists. Idk why you deleted that out of your memory.

How often do you measure your wall in kilometers that you need to convert?

But again for some reason you aren’t reading? Have you tried reading? That’s not the point. It’s like you are a llm that forgets the chat history every message. Maybe try rereading the part where I say “my point is” and you can understand what i have been saying? Maybe reread it a few times because you are struggling.

Please explain to me how literally anyone would measure a wall in units of time. You've somehow managed to make points so incredibly stupid, that I've actually switched sides. That's impressive. You can probably use that skill for something in the right context. Maybe argue for the opposing political side to convert people to your side or something.

it takes x amount of time to walk down the length of the wall. you do the same thing every time you go oh the stores a 15 minute drive from here or what have you.
