   (*) I didn’t realize that was debatable. What’s the M stand for? Maybe we should take this argument to another venue?

“TECHNIC building uses the “module” or “M” as a measurement of length. 1 M is the distance from the center of one hole on a TECHNIC beam to the center of the next hole. ”

So a 3 L studless beam is actually 2M

Ugh. Is that metric? And you only count center-to-center, not the ends? Leave it Lego to think of something like this.

That can not be true. For example, if you look at page three of the lego factory technic section, what we call a 1x3 liftarm thin is described as 3M.

Hmm. That would seem to imply that a 1x3 thin liftarm is, indeed, 3M long. Yes,
"M" is defined as the distance between two hole centers, but the length of the
piece can be cleanly read off the graph behind it - 3M.
