+====== Debate: Fluid API ======
+===== Unit =====
+==== Facts ====
+  * Vanilla says:
+    * There are three bottles to a bucket. (cauldron)
+    * One fluid block is equal to one bucket. (...buckets)
+  * The SME (Standardized Modding Environment) says:
+    * There are one thousand millibuckets to a bucket. (Forge)
+    * We'd like to be able to divide by 9*9=81, to cover nugget -> block liquid metals. (Tinkers' Construct fans)
+    * We'd like our fluid to void as rarely as possible, preferably never.
+==== Approaches ====
+  * Choose a denominator! (Shouldn't be too small, or too large.)
+    * The Metric Option: 1000.
+    * The Silk Option: 1620.
+    * Millibottles: 3000 mb = 1000 mB = 3 bottles = 1 bucket.
+    * Others: 900, 1800, 3600 (getting a bit high...)
+  * <del>Use BigDecimals!</del> wait no that's still pretty metric
+  * Use rational numbers!
+===== API =====
+==== Prior art =====
