Such a measure would be equivalent to expressing height as distance from the center of the earth. If the top of a person's head were 41,852,012'7" from the center of the earth, and the feet were 41,852,006'9" feet from the center, the person would be 5'10" tall. Of course, while one could determine a person's stature that way, relative measurement is easier.
