Totally agree, SI units for the win!

I was just trying to use “familiar” units. I could have led with 1 HP per square yard, and then you’d totally have license to call me out!

And yeah, I was just talking about solar flux, there’s a whole lot of real world losses to consider but my point was that none of this matters, it’s orders of magnitude away from ICE engine output.

It was the fact you started using units the world knows - albeit misspelling metre - but in the next sentence, comparing that same dimension, you used an apostrophe to allude to a unit that only 5% of the planet uses.
