Yeah... Well, it is true, that I made several posts about the retardation that is kcal unit, and I do in fact hate the excuse of "we didn't want to confuse teh plebs"
But on the other hand, I did confuse the living shit out of some people for saying, that speed of light is 300Mm/s. These people were seriously telling me, that Mm/s is not a fucking unit, so MAYBEEEEEE, there might be some point to the original excuse.
