> This way, you could create any two "dimensionless" quantities and try to compare them or use one in place of the other which might be meaningless.

Yeah, "dimensionless" would mean they have equal dimension, which would mean they are comparable, which isn't necessarily the case. E.g. both radians and degrees are called "dimensionless".

Edit: Apparently "same dimension" doesn't imply "same unit".
