Because measurement would have no meaning, unless we agree what we are measuring by. If I say that it takes 14 BGs to fill an autograft- we need to agree what a BG is, and what an autograft is, or it is meaningless. If you say that a yard is about so big, and I say that it is smaller... do you not see the problem here? Standard units are necessary, or we are talking about different things, entirely. If I count to ten, but you skip 9 and go to 11, we are talking about different things. Thus, we have a standard model of math, and a standard model (several to choose from) of measurements. The bottom line answer is this: so we are talking about the same thing.
