Attempts to redefine the universe just to defend your own
luserishness rarely go well around here.

How do I quote thee? Let me count the spaces...
"The liter is derived from this as 1 liter = 10^-3 m^3, permanently and
by definition. As opposed to, for example, the barn, which is 10^-28 m^2,
also by definition, but forbidden from use. Why anybody wanted to build
such small barns even when they were allowed to, I don't know."
-- Maarten Wiltink
I have since developed a theory about the origins of the barn unit of
area measurement. It involves pre-existing barns of very small-sized
broad sides, being hit by men redefining the universe using very, very
expensive toys.
