But you don’t measure the number of scooters by the gram either.

This is true, but that’s because everybody has accepted the unit of scooter as the accepted unit count for scooters… Okay that’s a bad example, because just counting things is the way to count things. But also, maybe that’s the point - maybe, counting things is just super simple, and why direct or single-level abstract measurements is the difference: metric = relating everything to a single point, and imperial = just counting. Yeah? Maybe?
