Is this some kind of empirical joke I’m too metric to understand?

I kid, I’m Canadian so I know off the top of my head a gallon is 3.81 litres.

*Imperial

Empiricism is a different thing entirely

US gallon is 3.8l, Imperial gallon is 4.54l.

A superior measurement system uses the same term for two different amounts of something.
