Yeha, I was just saying that it is pretty easy to estimate if you know how long is a meter. You don't need to do constant conversions between "this is 12 of this and that is 13.4 of those, and then multiply that by 24".
Literally if you know how long a meter is, and someone tells you that an hectare is 10K meters squared, you know that it looks something like 100m x 100m. You know how long a meter is, now you know what an hectare looks like.
It's just the ease of conversion of metric.
