Not exactly "dimensionless".
So, what are it's dimensions? Acre-feet? Lightyear-barns? Barrels per
kiloparsec? It's a ratio, and therefore dimensionless.

It's one of those "it is and it isn't" numbers, I reckons. No, on it's
own, it is dimensionless,

And remains so whoever's company it keeps.

but taken as a whole

A whole lot of nonsene, maybe.

at least it's easy to turn
into an absolute dimension

You can use the ratio to calculate one dimensions from another. The
ratio itself remains dimensionless, it does not get turned into
anything.

Maths wasn't your strong point at school, then.
