Is it machine-focused that we can convert a distance of 1.5 m to 150 cm just by multiplying by 100?

Maybe distances should be human-focused, so that no displacement is equivalently expressed as 1 cm, 1 m, 1 km, ...

Then converting a distance d from m to cm is (d - 1) x 100 + 1.

... but if you have something that's 150cm, that's not 151cm, that's 150cm?
