Imperial is FAR more human and "natural" then metric. Metric fails frequently at being quantifiable with natural experiences and objects.

But imperial falls apart the second your trying to do something at a large scale, super small scales or literally anything that isn't "human scale"

And basically every test I've ever seen. If you don't have tools or some reference point, people will nine times out of 10 be able to more accurately gauge something using imperial measurements then using metric measurements.

Metric relies far too much on reference in tooling, but that's also its greatest strength. It's absurdly, exact and reliable while imperial is loosey-goosey
