Oh! Standards can't evolve!!
So, if the first official metric system measures a meter as an arbitrary percentage of an arbitrary meridian-line crossing through Paris and then later all authorities change the definition of a meter to the distance traveled by light in vacuum over 1/299,792,458th of a second then I should always measure a kilometer based upon a Parisian street-map because that was the original definition!!
Got it. Thanks!
