Not sure what an SI is, but "m" after a measurement can certainly be misunderstood, as it's the accepted abbreviation for both miles and metres.

I believe every thing was done to the plus or minus 3. So kilometres are to the 3 millimetres -3. And centi breaks this approach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work in construction and have used metres and millimetres all my working life with the exception of dealing with Italian marble factories who use centimetres!

I have many virtues, but omniscience is not in their number. By "criticise" I think you mean "make a humorous comment about". Humour is permitted on CWDF.
