I thought the metric system was just a simplified and widely-agreed system of units used to measure different magnitudes like Length and stuff, since older units like "Foot" tended to vary on different nations, and thus measurements lacked uniformity between them.

It's the International System of Units precisely because of it's simplicity and precise nature.

So, I think you're looking at a cup of water and seeing an ocean there. I doubt M&K even have any idea of what you're talking about.
