That was when the Mars Climate Orbiter spacecraft's outing turned into a disaster because one group of rocket scientists involved in its construction had used Imperial measures whilst another had used metric!
As there has been no similar disaster in brain surgery, perhaps we should go back to saying: "You don't need to be a brain surgeon to understand this" rather than: "You don't need to be a rocket scientist."
