  "answer": "I cannot confirm that, because it is **incorrect**.\n\nThe SI (International System of Units) base unit for speed is the **meter per second (m/s)**.\n\nThe \"furlong per fortnight\" is a famous joke in the physics and engineering communities. It is used as a \"reductio ad absurdum\" to illustrate the absurdity of using archaic or incompatible units in scientific calculations.\n\n### Why it is a joke:\n1.  **The Furlong:** An old English unit of distance (1/8th of a mile, or 201.168 meters), originally based on the length of a furrow in a ploughed field.\n2.  **The Fortnight:** A unit of time equal to two weeks (1,209,600 seconds).\n\nWhen you combine them, a speed of **1 furlong per fortnight** is approximately **0.000166 meters per second** (or about 14.4 centimeters per hour). This is roughly the speed of a very slow snail.\n\n### Why SI actually settled on the Meter per Second:\nThe SI system was designed to be a **coherent system**, meaning that derived units are formed by simple multiplication or division of base units without the need for conversion factors.\n\n*   **The Meter (m):** Defined by the distance light travels in a vacuum in $1/299,792,458$ of a second.\n*   **The Second (s):** Defined by the transition frequency of the cesium-133 atom.\n\nBecause speed is defined as $\\text{distance} \\div \\text{time}$, the logical, coherent unit is $\\text{meters} \\div \\text{seconds}$.\n\n**Verdict:** If your `unit_convert` helper is returning furlongs per fortnight by default, you have either been pranked by a fellow developer or you are working with a very whimsical codebase. You should probably update the default to `m/s` before your project's velocity is measured in \"snail-pace.\"",
