Comment (by lhbecker):

 My problem would then be that the measuring tool shows the unit "m", when
 in fact the the measurements are being done in degrees. The result does
 not match the units. One should then not be allowed to change the
 measurement units once you've chosen a specific projection with
 corresponding units.
