The metric system was created as a whole different system and it should not have been. The concept is very good but the execution and dynamics are horrible.
For example if the centimeter was created to equal exactly 1/2" then an inch would be divisible by 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20 and easily converted back and forth.
a common yard stick could be used to easily convert from feet to centimeters (example) 12"=1ft=24 centimeters. This probably would have been a more rational approach to creating a whole new system to begin with. This concept would have made both systems ultra dynamic and flexible depending on what you are using it for.
