    The fact that 99.5% of the global population uses it makes it the objectively correct choice.

    The remaining .5% can keep bashing their heads against a wall if they like though

        Pretty sure what you did here was a logical fallacy. Idk which one bc my smol brain cant comprehend them. In music yoh dont need a best. Eith units on the other hand it makes things a lot easier if they are universal.
