It's like when the Americans fell so much in love with inches, that they forgot to switch to any other more consistent system. It's an elaborate initiation-rite/practical joke that we EEs play upon the rest of the world in a mean-spirited streak. We don't use slide-rules and log-tables any more. And yet, we stick to our guns and dB.
thank you thank you!
