That’s a bullshit story, I’m afraid.

She didn’t suggest that the difference in measurements is responsible. It was an example of what is different between the US and the rest of the world. It was an introduction to the question: maybe the pilots there are also trained differently? Granted, the analogy isn’t genius, but there was no suggestion that the metric system is responsible.

If you watch the video, she starts with the difference in training. Moreover, she knew beforehand what the “AFA insider” would be talking about. So from the start it was his point about different training, not hers. She was just paving the road for his answer.

Then during the phone call at first she gives a general example: “even when we think about temperature, it’s Celsius and Fahrenheit”, and so on. It’s her example of what is different between different countries. Then she asks whether difference in training (not in measuring systems) might have been responsible. And he understands her perfectly and answers her pre-arranged question with “Correct”.

There is never any implication of causality on the part of the measuring systems.
