Ralisticallly, what they are saying is "we want base-10." Base 10 makes doing all of the little calculations we have to perform in our heads every single day far easier and much less annoying. It's pretty much objectively better, though how much so is quite subjective.So really, whenever anyone says "we want metric!" what they mean is "we want new signs!"
