>Presently, we use 24-hour time (AM/PM or otherwise), so the loss in precision is enormous going from 24 to 10. >Think about it. No, YOU think about it. When do you use hour-only precision today ? When you say "I have meeting at 8" that never means "any time period between 8 and 9", that means "it starts at eight". That doesn't change with change of the length of the hour. You'd still use hours on their own only if you mean "an hour and close to zero minutes around that hour". You'd still add minutes for anything else. > A hundredth of a metric hour is 14.4 standard minutes! Imagine being 0.01 metric hours late for a meeting. ...no ? it's 100 seconds so ~1.66 of standard minute Imagine being 1.66 minutes late instead of one!!! Such horror!
