great analogy, "pencils bend into water,"
for Hubble's being harried into the dopplerian analogy
for redshifting with distance.

thus:
another thing that is said to be dimensionless, is pi radians,
but you had better specify!...
"dimensionless constants" are well & good, so long
as you *know* what units are actually involved with "c"'
(recall, this is Einstein's abbreviation of "celeras," or
some thing, which means "speed" in Latin), but
I'd hardly say that "c" is "dimensionless," even if
it is "one lightyear per year.... and "A" stood
for "arbeit" or work, as in "A=mcc;" he was not enough
of a schmuck to put his own initial into it, I guess.

That was your first mistake. You violated your three-step program!
Reduce your program to two-steps and try again. Practice, practice, practice
