While 1511 has nothing to do with Fibonacci numbers 240 is the product of 1,1,2,3,5,8, the first 6 non-zero digits of the Fibonacci sequence.

David Butler's video showed the importance of right angles, but it also showed how confusing eta would be to teach beginning students when his first definition of it was the ratio of paths argument, which is not only an extremely confusing definition, but it also doesn't even work.

You even mentioned that the only reason we used it was because of primitive measuring tools, which isn't a good reason at all.

The whole point of radians was to have a natural, elegant unit rather than an arbitrary one like degrees, but diameterans would be just as bad as degrees.
