why I don’t support use of the metric system.

Neither system is "superior".

I have measuring tools for both and use whichever I think is easier for the particular job, sometimes both on a job.

Exactly, sometimes to measure a quarter, an eighth, or a sixteenth is far more efficient than to measure 0.25, 0.125 or 0.0625.

Modernists just suppose the new is inherently superior.
