Why use inches of water?

Why use the 28 inches of water when flowing cylinder heads? I understand that this is where differences really show up between cylinder heads, but why use water instead of inches of mercury?

According to the conversion factor I found with a quick search, 28" water is 2.0594" mercury, is that correct? So then maybe it is because the water scale is bigger and reduces potential error???
