Dollars and cents are everyday words because you can price everyday things in them.

Bitcoin and Sats are not like that. You can only price everyday things in one of the two: Sats.

Keeping the word Sats for the only meaningful pricing unit will lead the word Bitcoin to end up with no semantic value in everyday life. It will then detach from Sats and diminish, like the word "Sterling" detached from the word pound. (The word Sterling lo longer adds meaning to the word pound, and the word Bitcoin will no longer add meaning to the word Sat).
