<div dir="ltr"><div>Pfft.</div><div><br></div><div>My dear colleague, the numbers of the units are hardly relevant, as the important thing is that MILES themselves are overwhelmingly vast. Ask anyone if they have ever walked a mile, for I guarantee you that they have not (no one has). I would not be surprised if they respond with a raised eyebrow, or even polite ridicule as you fumble to explain that is a mere 63,360 inches. The very concept of the mile itself regularly baffles the layperson. Sadly, the human mind is not equipped to comprehend such geographic distances. Even those of us who claim to be proficient evaluators of dimension often resort to heuristics when determining the appropriate impact of the mile in our reasonings.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Whereas, the kilo-meter, is simply no more that a few throws of a stone. Indeed, the faithful distance reducing kilometerist actually believes that any major city is theoretically an aeroplane ride away. Ha!</div>
