So what if someone is standing back trying to communicate with you how much to raise it so it looks good?
“Raise it by the length of the last segment of your thumb!” You’ve just re-invented the inch. Congrats.
“Raise it by 2.54cm!” Wow, great units that are easy to eyeball without a ruler. Based on a subdivision of the great circle of the earth going through Paris (of all places). Definitiely not arbitrary and very useful in everyday situations.
