The writer don’t seem to realise that radian is not an arbitrary unit but a dimensionless one which is defined so that 1rad is actually just 1.

Reading the submission and the comments here, I’m under the impression that trigonometry is not extensively taught in middle schools and high schools in the USA. While I’m slightly envious you might not have to suffer developing powers of cosine and sine but that would explain the lack of familiarity with radian I see here. Am I wrong?
