| What's the difficulty with BHP? Almost self-explanatory.

A long time ago, the legislators defined it in a way that
made no engineering sense, and it created chaos in the UK car
industry for many decades. Yes, 'real' BHP is a clear unit,
but real foot-pounds is not a measure of energy. And it is
what the relevant law means by the term, not what engineers
do, that matters.
