I could've sworn we had a discussion about this just a few months
ago... There are several problems, such as not knowing what the
strength of gravity is on Kronos relative to Earth, or which
definition of "ton"/"tonne" is being used, etc.
Here is the last message from the previous discussion:
http://www.kli.org/tlhIngan-Hol/2012/March/msg00137.html
My tentative conclusion at the time was that there is a factor of 9
between {cheb} and {cheb'a'}, and that the definition uses the
American "short ton" for "kT".
