    Those physical constants were randomly chosen. And they eventually chose a different physical standard only recently. And it STILL contains an error even after all these centuries because one of the original men sent to do the real world measurement cheated at his job and made up some of his measurements to avoid traversing some difficult terrain. So yes, it turns out it’s as “made up” as much as any other system.
