I we used this same argument for current we would have to abandon 
Amperes and switch to Coulombs/second.....but no Coulombs means 
nothing....We would have to use the number of electrons that are in a 
Coulomb (which I forget 6.023 E23????) per second.

Ohms would become Volts per Amp. But no, we cannot use Amperes or Volts, 
they don't mean anything tangible. It would all have to be reduced to 
electrons, seconds meters and grams of force to be tangible.
