Here's my complaint: If you're going to use a number to describe a part, and the number has
nothing to do with the size of the part, then don't pick a number that sounds like it does. Instead, pick a number that clearly has nothing to do with the size. Wouldn't it make more sense if Lippy was able to say to the parts counter guy
"the 1873985 thread fitting was just a hair too big," and then the parts guy would reply
"ok, then the next smaller fitting is the 8142874 thread fitting." Don't get me started.
