I thought perhaps it was because prog1 says he's an engineer and has embarrassed the entire profession.

Yep, that'll do it. Here's why retired from Nursing; I asked my last student to explain how many "grains" were in a "milligram", and she asked in turn " whole grains?".

For those not familiar; a "grain" is an archaic ( but still vital ) form of measuring weights of solids, such as medication, and is much more precise than metric. It has NOTHING to do with wheat, oats, etc.

I'm surprised you weren't asked if these grains were unprepared or cooked.
