As the "winner" in the debates below, please explain how you have won.
From the top of the board
1) More questions on the CMS report
You have not managed to name either of the imperial units divisible by 2,3,4,5 & 6. Remember, I am questioning the accuracy of section 5.10. You have provided no proof that this section is correct. At one point, you actually admit it is factually incorrect.
And looking back, I have made a mistake too! I'm amazed you did not spot it!
2) Tonight's CMS Inaccuracies, Errors & Mistakes
I have challenged you to provide examles where Imperial has more divisors & primes than metric. As Imperial is so good at divisibility, why have you not taken up this challenge? Again, I point out where section 5.7 is incorrect - point out your proof that it is correct.
3) Another howler in the CMS report
I ask why you consider that the human brain cannot cope with tins stating "200g", but finds signs on roads stating "series of bends for 570 yards" immediately comprehensible. (Obviously, I can't post the roadsign here so I have to write it out).
Apart from a list of tin sizes, you make no effort to debate this.
4) Beranger's Question on the Bangemann Quote
I questioned 2 quotes that I alleged had never been made. You have provided no corroborated proof that they were ever made.
........................................................................................................................................................
Does "win" have a meaning I am not aware of?
I am not claiming to have "won" any debate, but feel that your attempts to avoid answering legitimate questioning as to the accuracy of the CMS report continue to undermine acceptance of the report by any unbiased observer.

Tony, I hope you won't mind my jumping in and answering this for you.
Beranger, the factors used most commonly in the imperial system are 12, 16, 32, 64, and so on. In the metric system, 10, 100, and so on.
Take any two of these numbers that are on the same order of magnitude.
10 is divisible by 2 and 5.
12 is divisible by 2, 3, 4, and 6.
