    There is no dogma, when doing maths you’re free to use anything even as esoteric as Fibonacci base. The problem is when this becomes widespread but not everywhere.

    If you’re for using it “for different purposes” I can’t even understand the point of your original comment, why preach?

      I am definitely not the one being preachy about a particular base. I am the one advocating flexibility over dogma.

      All I did was point out that 12 is easier to divide cleanly than ten, and this very simple fact has pissed many people off for some reason.
