Would you agree that if there was a unit for 299,792,458 meters called 'q' then the "speed of light" could be expressed as 1 q/s? Then e = m*c^2 is e = m x 1 or e = m (but the units of q^2/s^2 are still there, just the arithmetic is simplified)

I am not arguing against natural units. I use them daily, and they are more than just practically useful. I am critiquing bad explanations for their interpretation and justification.
