That’s like saying imperial units are more natural than ISO units because you grew up with them. Of course what you grew up with is more natural to you, it doesn’t say much. The problem is not everyone grew up with it, compared to “the week of Dec 21.”
Not saying week numbers aren’t useful, I’ve used them to label weekly results in datasets, for instance.

- yitchelle 7y agoNo, it is natural to us because our working rhythm is based on a week. It just seems logical to think in terms of weeks.
