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.
