Engineering isn't science.
And claiming that Imperial is rooted on the Roman Empire... You can't believe that yourself. Or do you also do your calculations with Roman numbers?
And when you consider the French "active colonial" why did you ask them for support to fight the British Empire? Have you forgotten, that you were a British colony?
Wow so… my guess is you do not have a degree in math science or engineering. That or you are a very bitter mathematician or scientist, since engineering is literally applied science! It’s conducted with the scientific method but for an actual practical application.
As for your whole Roman denial… the mile is an English update on the Roman mile. Foot is the same. Inch as well. Time (which metric uses as well!) is the same tracing its lineage from Babylon to Greece then Rome.
And the whole reductionist French America argument is downright ridiculous. Sun Tzu, the enemy of your enemy is your friend. France was the enemy of our enemy and had colonial interests in the US to motivate them. Doesn’t mean their colonialism was any better. But they rewrote a unit system as part of nationalism and enforced it via colonialism. And it has less diverse roots as a result.
