It is highly unikely that non-engineers will adopt scientific notation =
or mili/nano/pico prefixes for money.=20
All common currencies either have no change or one that is 1/100 of the =
base unit.=20
This is the convention that practically all existing finance software =
and non-Bitcoin related UI that deals with money assumes.
Ignoring evident cultural preference and all pre-existenting finance =
related software is blatant Bitcoin engineering blindness.
We already had a BIP for bits, which I support for above reasons. =
