Keggers. If we're talking hypothetically about what to call the arbitrary units of measurement we're going to use, I want one of them to be called keggers. Set the MP to 44 ft pounds of diesel dust and set the prop to 720 keggers. Unless its a three blade prop, in which case you'd set it to 1122 quarter keggers.
Kegger silliness aside, I agree completely with your statement. The units are arbitrary. I think the reason the no oversquare myth continues to exist is because its really easy to teach and its pretty much always safe in terms of being harmful to the engine.
