Everyone understand exactly what is meant - it is a phrase, not a modifier. Only a troll would go on after the first mention.

The point is that a mile is a mile. A metric mile is not a mile, so it gets a special modifier. A mile does not need any such modifier.
Of course we all understand what is meant. However, we are trying to stamp out an unnecessary practice. That is why the anti-full milers continue to crusade. Sadly, you have not seen the last of us.
