Great account, but ... > Whereas decimal gives rise to round numbers such as 1, 10, and 100 (or 10 squared), ... the author apparently doesn't get the irony of this. It's only "round" in base 10. Whichever system you use, will have its own "round" numbers (in my wheelhouse hex is spoken, so 0x800 is a fine round number).
