... why not define the unit 'cycle' = 2pi radians, and then make
1 Hz = 1 cycle/s = 2pi radians/s = 2pi/s ?
I've always been mildly disturbed by the definition of the unit hertz as
equivalent to 1/second. (Such as can be found, for example, at
<http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/units.html> and
<http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/SIdiagram.html>.
Can anyone see any problems with this [radian] option, other than the near
impossibility of changing tradition?
