I honestly have no idea what you are talking about, but you certainly aren't addressing what I am saying. Please respond to what I write. I've been consistently talking about units, not dimensions; I have given no interpretation of "dimensions" vs "units". The expression above has no units when simplified; that's a pretty straightforward statement.
