Be that as it may, but I'm pretty sure that if I picked up a US sheet
metal screw and used it, the universe would have split into a parallel
with this one where US and metric SMS's aren't interchangeable and I'd
have shattered some pesky NLA part and I'd be getting "why did you do
that?" responses to my subsequent post for help.

That's how these things work, you know.
