Given what I've seen, personally, in how people don't understand or even use units well, it's reasonable. And the ancillary context (like excitement and urgency of being on set, or on social media, as well as the stigma of consistently being a slow-thinking skeptical curmudgeon) definitely causes people to think badly about all sorts of things beyond simple arithmetic.
