It's also not the case that torque really has the same units as

There's the little matter of a cross product. I don't see how units in a
cross product end up the same as from a dot product or scalar
multiplication.


I still have not heard how the dot product of a force and a displacement
can have the _same_ dimensions as the cross product of the two. We
differentiate between the multiplicative product and the quotient, why not
the dot and cross products?

I am having difficulty understanding your question. What is the meaning
of dimension in your discussion?
