Apparently you don't actually do things.

You have a teaspoon. How to make a 16x (5 TBP + 1 tsp, which is 1/4 C + 1 TBSP + 1 tsp) batch or 100x (you can do the math) batch?

1mL water weighs 1g. The definition of a degree C is equally intuitive. What does imperial have?

more things become binary

Nah. You're telling me that things decided to completely skip decimal (i.e. metric) and move to binary? That's retarded.

6 tsp in an ounce. You honestly don't need more precision than that. 2 2/3 oz for 16x, a pint for 100x.

You're advocating a system that hasn't caught on in 200 years and I'm the retarded one?

hasn't caught on

Have you been outside the US?
