Do you know of any other numbers besides 12 though? What a stupid argument.
No. That's the point. It's not a stupid argument, it's a stupid listener.
Yeah, must be. It's a weird cult you run here.
What's magic about 10 over 12?
We do all our calculations base 10. Your argument is like the reasoning behind 360 degrees - ease of finding DIVISORS. That is such a weird, archaic requirement (like rationalizing denominators).
We do arithmetic in base 10. Yes, it is possible to use most any base, but you aren't going to change the entire world. I don't care if machine language uses binary or Gaussian integers; humans use base 10.
