Dear Ingvar, (01)

Could you give me a unit (or two) that you think only applies to one
kind-of-quantity, and I'll see if I can identify another? (04)
Engineering is full of things like Maximum Allowable Working
Temperature, which is certainly not a temperature (try measuring it with
a thermometer). (05)
