Just because it isn't as bad a joke would imply doesn't mean it still isn't really quite bad
Base 12 vs base 10 is pretty much the only objective advantage of USC, and it only uniquely occurs in USC for small construction-scale tasks (i.e. the inch-to-foot scale).
I don't think people critiquing USC are unaware of what this video is saying. We just think it's still worse.

Good luck getting the rest of the world to switch to SI. They prefer their less than perfect "metric" system.........
SI is the one true metric system!
I think farenheight is far superior to Celsius specifically for weather forecasts. 0 = very cold, 100 = very hot, 50 = medium.
Feet being roughly the size of a human foot, and inches being roughly the length between first and 2nd finger joint is also nice.
