Hum… I guess that you will not be very numerous if you would found a Club…
This doesn't show a good scientist's state of mind. The scientists use the new needed units when they appear, glad or not.

Guess again....
If not glad someone wont use it

This doesn't show a good scientist's state of mind.

Unfortunately, there are too small relationships between science and human minds and emotions. Many people get used to old prefixes. Replacing them with the new ones inevitably will lead to mass confusion. When you tell "kilobyte" the users will not know whether you are using the old system (1024) or new one (1000).

And, finally, maybe I could make myself accept these bi-prefixes if they did not sound so disgustingly (at least, for my own ears). I just can't hear these awful names. Science or not science - I'm a human and have my tastes and distastes.

But we didn't choose, this has been done by competent engineers, since missed at the very beginning of the computing thingy…
