  1. the division of 16oz of flour argument is irrelevant and you can prove it to yourself by starting with 15oz. the metric argument is percentage can be calculated easily and efficiently because metric is units,tens, hundreds, thousands and so on. to use your reasoning 100g of flour can be reduced to any percentage you like. if you want 10% = 10g. a kilogram can be converted to percentage the exact same way with an extra zero on the end 10% = 100g the only argument for staying with king henry's foot as a unit of measurement is because you're already familiar with it and already tooled up for it. and lastly americans use the metric system their whole lives because your currency is metric there's 100 cents in a dollar if you give change you know metric.
