tell me the last time a regular person had platinum-iridium ingot

What, you don't?

But yeah, I agree, units are made up. I mean, why is the boiling point at 100C and not any other number? Someone made it up.
I'm just saying the argument "0F is really cold" is just as true as -10F is really cold or +10F is really cold.
