A major point of confusion in the NMR field is that of the dimensionless and hidden radian unit. This often results in people mistakenly writing Hertz units when inverse seconds (or rad/s) should have been used. This issue can be traced back to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_System_of_Units SI] organisation itself. Specifically the SI supplementary units definitions whereby the assumption is made that if a process is rotational, a physicist should know that radian units are implicit.
