>That takes nothing away from the original remark.

>It's different than what is done in Europe, thus it is stupid.
It's also different than what's done in Asia, Australia, Africa, South America, Canada and Mexico.
>Americans use a different form of measurement and because they haven't switched to metric they're stupid.
It is stupid. Everything is divisible by 10 and we use a base 10 number system, how fucking easy and practical can it be?
>They didn't switch to Celsius in the sixties and they're stupid.
They didn't switch to Celsius in the 70s, 80s, 90s, or 00s either.

Yeah, your entire argument makes sense. Americans are stupid because they haven't gone to the base ten system of measurement. They're stupid, yet they seem to understand a more complex system of measurement and haven't needed to go over to an easier to understand one.
