Point taken. I've been known to change my mind in the past. I guess
I'll have to check up on high energy physics before I make further
comments :). I still think that *numerically* the unit system cannot
make much of a difference (but feel free to convince me otherwise here
as well), but I can see that having the speed of light at 1 might
simplify matters.
