FOR STARTERS - millions of labor hours doing various conversions that are unnecessary. Not even those that Minte posted, but also converting imperial to imperial. Instead of doing something in 1 second you choose to do it in few seconds. And millions of operations like these daily/weekly. On top of that add bigger chances of making a mistake doing those calculations (not everybody is as smart as you are and also even smart people do mistakes)

- a lot of mistakes and that is just one field. I wonder how many mistakes are done in total across all industries.
