There's no confusion if you do it the correct way. I've told you countless times. Do you not know what I'm saying or do you not want to look it up? The whole complicated system for all units of any quantities is just one simple rule:

Treat units like variables

That's all it is. That allows you to work with any units without getting confused. You don't need to try and decide if seconds are already included in m/s/s or whatever.
