This has nothing to do with the resolution.  PDF is a vector
file format and any graphics in it will be "infinitely
scalable".  


The options people see in Acrobat Distiller about resolution
refer ONLY to how bitmap images are sampled in creating
PDFs - if you had a photograph in a magazine samples at 1440
pixels per inch, you wouldn't want the full resolution for 
a downloadable version to read on screen.  If you are doing
charts, tables and other graphics, don't worry.

Changing the definition of an inch would definitely not
help :-)
