Read the whole post.
People losing wallets and bitcoins, are losing 0,1, 0,01, 0,5, 1 BC, 10 BC,
This units are or will be huge in a few years.
So if 5 million BC are lost in the world, you would need to subdivide that microbitcoins even more....
People HATE numbers. In particular those with lots of zeros in front.

I agree that a lot of zeros is unfriendly, however, the issue of lost bitcoins is not as much as an issue as you think think it is. If 90% of all the bitcoins are lost, then it will add only one more 0. If 99% of all the bitcoins are lost, it will add two more zeros.

Anyway, no need to rehash the discussion here. Try reading these threads:
