Too small or too big for what? I don't understand the argument as the metric system is, in my opinion, of the more useful outcomes of the French Revolution. The fact that American scientists generally use the metric system speaks volumes.

The basic size of metric units was arbitrarily determined is what he means. It's not that multiples of 10 is a bad idea, it's that the basic sizes just don't "feel" right.

Which is only because we have grown up and been educated in a society that uses the far-more-convoluted English system.

The metric system is more logical and easier to understand; however, I'm more familiar with the English version and thus ignorantly prefer it.
