The concept of using multiple scales of the same dimension just because it's a different object (but still of comparable size) that gets measured eludes me anyways.

Try living in Canada and dealing with people who uses both systems.

It's normal, and it'll probably be that way for quite the forsee-able future.

I use both Metric & US Customary here in the US.

Depending on what I want, I'll switch between the two.

e.g.

Do you prefer your Monitor/TV/Display size in "Diagonal Inch's" or "Diagonal Centimeters".

For me: "Diagonal Inch" has a more meaningful impact change in Display Area, so I prefer at least whole "Diagonal Inch increment" changes.

But for Monitor Bezels, I prefer the bezel to be 5 mm on all sides if possible on LapTops/Desktop.

Worst case scenario, I'd want 1 cm / 10 mm to be the ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM Bezel thickness for DeskTops.

LapTops need to follow Dell's design trend and be 5 mm on all sides.

In the current era, displays needs smaller & smaller Bezels to look good.

If you can get rid of them completely w/o risking the displays structural integrity, so be it.

But since Structural Integrity & protection of the delicate panel needs to be considered, some amount of protective bezel usually must exist.

For Human Height: how accurately can you measure/guesstimate a persons height w/o using any actual measuring tools.

The only thing you have is your eye-balls and limbs to guess by.

How accurate can you be w/o measuring tools?

I think you can easily get down to the decimeter by stacking objects that are close to a decimeter in size on top of each other.
Usually my fist is about a decimeter wide and I can stack them one on top of each other for a rough guesstimate.

If stacking foot steps on top of each other when the persons lying down, I can get down to individual feet with some fuzziness / change.
