I repeat, you’re an idiot.

You don’t even understand what the issue is.

I asked at #175: So, is the U.S. Survey Foot somewhere physically (abstractly or concretely) standardized without referring to the SI meter? Where?

and you answered in #176:

Yes, at the NIST. It’s a platinum-iridium bar, and has been directly refered to in several court decisions.

So, I took a look into this and found that the only platinum-iridium bar at the NIST is a meter bar, which was used to define the yard since the Mendenhall order and later became obsolete.

Until now, I couldn't find any court decisions which refer to it.

So, for me one of the issues is that you didn't come up with the court decisions you claim to exist, and that your claim that there is a SI meter independent definition of the yard is just wishful thinking of your side.
