Statement 1:
Well, the US has, unquestionably, the most advanced scientific

It does not appear that the unit of measure is
"broken".

There is no relation between these two statements. No one, not even
you, have a clue to what the US GDP would have been today if the US
had gone through with the decision to go metric.
