Someone has it all wrong for sure. Once again; choice of units is completely unrelated to the matter of dimensionality of a quantity. I suggest a read of in particular the 2nd main para here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensional_analysis
How can there can be an actual argument over something so fundamental?
...It can only change the perspective. In the perspective I have presented, your OP is silly because you are chasing after something that couldn't ever possibly be true...
What could not possibly ever be true?
What exactly is your relevant perspective and how precisely does it bear down on #1 post? Vague assertions won't cut it here.
...I do believe we agree that it can't be true.
Don't even necessarily agree with that either. IF point monopoles as dual of electric charge DO exist, something considered fundamental to current physics has to give. As per scenario in #1. My bet is energy-momentum conservation would fail. Otherwise a fundamental condensed matter QM relation will. One could take the pov that point monopoles as dual of electric charge are thereby impossible. But I don't see that restricted conclusion as good logic. There is more than one possibility to allow for. In the absence of hugely unlikely experimental evidence as decider. Monopoles sure are scarce. Perhaps infinitely so.
