I don't think that freedom units are better, I think they're more fun, and I like having a bit of whimsy in these trying times.

    This. There is nothing more immersive in a story set in the past than old-timey measurements. I want my potions in drams, I want my house measured in paces, I want to know how many leagues the city is across. I want cubits and spans for construction and stones, pounds, and smelt for weights.

    It makes the world more real, less sterile to have these human-centric measures.
