Re: Operationalize orthogonality

Who ever declared that values that are not expressed as some quantity
of some unit "can be not applicable for db" ??????

I'd rather say it's the values that *ARE* expressed as some quantity of
some unit that might be problematic. By omitting mention of the unit
and assuming it's the local default e.g.

An American research lab once got spreadsheets from a European lab with
some data for some experiment, where weights were expressed in metric
units, but this was nowhere articulated. The Americans interpreted the
weights as pounds, proceeded with the experiment, and the lab no longer
exists today.
