basically all scientists use metric

well most scientists...

but either way, your point didnt qualify for only in standard.

qualifying is for people who arent fat and dont sit in a chair all day. I see no reason why i should be forced to qualify

You're joking, right? Are there any (respectable) scientists who work in anything else?

And before you bring up the Mars Orbiter, engineers don't count. (The first Mars orbiter failed because the contractor used English units and never bothered to label. So NASA (like any intelligent being a metric user ) assumed they were metric units.

its a matter of preference, its really rare but its not completely unheard of.

Its very rare, because publishing research in anything but metric means that the research will not be read.

Ohh you don't have to be rocket scientist to do that. I remember seeing concrete foundations for a house in perfect 1:3.28 scale because the enginer drew up the plans in feet and inch. They only noticed once they figured out that 1.8m + 1.9m was not 3.5m.
