The point may have been that if BTC is the only unit, then most every-day things will cost something like .05 BTC, which doesn't seem all that intuitive (at least coming from a USD area).

Also remember that things started costing 5 cents until inflation ran those same items up to dollars.

If bitcoin ever takes off, its built-in deflation will run the problem in the other direction (making it even worse than it is now).
