    What makes lbs, inch and feet more relatable?

    How is half a kg more relatable than one kg? Or how are 2½ cm more relatable than 1 cm? Or how are 30 cm more relatable than 10 cm or 100 cm?

    I keep seeing your argument here and there, but I just cannot fathom what is meant by it. For me there’s nothing relatable at all in “foot”. It falls awkwardly between 10 cm and 100 cm and I cannot really make heads or tails about it. Except if I divide it by three, which gives me an approximate number in metres. But then the number could have been in metres in the first place.
