Metric is great for calculations, but for conveying information in a meaningful and intuitive way, imperial is superior.

Quite the opposite.  The fact that metric is fundamentally based off of dimensional relationships demonstrates that God Himself approves of it.

Metric? What metric? Is autism a system of measurement? And it’s superior?

Autists aren’t more rational, they just flap their hands and rock and memorize factoids about the triceratops. Which is fine, I guess.

Could you buy chance derive the log likelihood function for a panel spatial error Tobit model? I currently have no autists available to aid me.

I never claimed to have Autism, I stated that I was on the autism spectrum.  You have either failed to read, or lack basic comprehension skills, and are thus unworthy of participating in this thread.

I have  kid with autism and the only reason he knows how far a kilometer is because we play Pokemon go together. He's 9. He knows about grams, kilos, liters and milliliters.  School is forcing the metric system, I don't think they teach units of imperial awesomeness. He also knows which country was the first to walk on the moon.

People on the spectrum are now autistic. Dsm-5 updated the regulations to stated that all people with autism and aspergers, now just have autism. Something about losers and the metric system are communists and belong on the other side of the wall are mentioned in the same guidelines too.

Superior says more about your utility function and value judgement, which I happen to agree with.  Objectively it is more coherent.  Empirically, nobody GAF and the well versed scribe is fluent in both.

Clearly, the length of a meter needs adjustment.

And if you're an Aspie (even though Asperger's Syndrome no longer exists) you'll get this one.

How many degrees of longitude does a kilometer represent? What even number of kilometers describes the earth’s diameter or radius? What even number of centimeters describes the average foot, hand, arm span?

I love metric for certain applications, it’s certainly easier to do math with, but some SAE measures make more sense for practical measurements.

It's not like the Euro's are measuring down to the millimeter every time; most people round off. At the same time, you can still do precise machine-work in fractions of an inch. It isn't the system that matters, it's the person doing the craft.

You need a gallon of water per day and a pound of food per meal.

A ton of grain feeds a Battalion for a day.

A yard is an intentionally long stride (for consistency when measuring).

A foot is literally a foot in a boot.

An inch is a thumb.

These are all practical units for the needs of daily life. They are human-centric.

I can totally see how an autistic person would think metric is superior.

Actually, the Apollo mission computer was programmed in metric (SI).  The metric units were translated into Imperial for the astronauts.

The greatest glory of the metric system is the way everything fits together--length, volume, mass.

A cubic centimeter of water is equal to one milliliter and has a mass of one gram.

no, we use 500g of rice, 25 cm, etc...the conversion is easy (i automatically consider 1 cm 1/100 of a meter just like you use quarterof inches or feet) and i have never heard anyone complaining about that! metric system is just more modern and more intuitive..this doesn't mean that the Imperial system is bad, millions of people use it without problems..
