I am. How else would you measure a coastline? The exact line is constantly changing with waves and the tide, so to get any kind of answer requires that you decide where the coastline is and mark it somehow. Driving nails into the waterline at the same water level and adding up the distances between them isn’t really a bad approach.
I forgot the “are you serious”.

You don’t need to mark things to measure them, especially when they change far faster than how long the marking takes.
I recommend reviewing the coastline paradox. It’s an interesting problem.
I know. That does not make it better. How could this be serious?
I’m really not sure you understand the concept. Maybe think on it a bit?
