Yeah it looks stupid when you do it like that, almost the same thing as if I told you there was 3,280 feet in a kilometer. Feet are not the base unit here, the mile is.
How many acres are in a mile by a mile? 1 Square Mile = 640 Acres. There are 640 acres in a square mile, because an acre is defined as an area of 66 feet to 660 feet and equals to 66 * 660 = 43560 square feet and one mile is 5280 feet and one sq.
Ignore everything about feet. That’s the different base unit. Idk how else to describe this, they’re using “defined” when they mean “described”? The mile is the base unit. Feet are the base unit of a different system.
They do until someone decides to mix systems. Feet and miles are two different base units. Like I tried to express, it’s like saying metric is stupid if I decide to define kilometers in feet. Its the same thing, but older when you try define miles and acres in feet. Stick to 640 fractional.

Asked Google again. Is this it?
Because it isn’t really helping it either.

Well, there’s your problem. That the base units don’t fit into each other neatly.

You are arguing an indefensible point of view
You are arguing a base ignorance of history.
