I agree but it's more important that we share a common system and it's incredibly expensive to switch (not just monetarily). For better or worse, if there's gonna be one system it will be decimal. Take heart that decimal time didn't catch on.

100 hour days are exactly what I think of the metric system. It's good for science and engineering, so you're not constantly converting bases; but when it comes to daily, human-scaled activity, I want numbers that are small and easy to divide. 1 / 4 == 3 is a lot nicer than 1 / 4 == 25.

  On the other hand, you just calculated the wrong number for how many hours are in a quarter of a day.

    I didn't calculate how many hours are in a quarter of a day. I mentioned 100 hour days, and then mentioned how it's nicer when 1 Foo divided by 4 equals 3 Bars, instead of dealing with 1 Baz divided by 4 equaling 25 Qux. It was a very short comment.

What's the connection between those two mentions? Surely you're not saying mention 1 is unrelated to mention 2. And it really looks like an attempt to do the same calculation with both system. It would be very weird if Foo and Bar were an analogy for feet and inches for example, and even weirder if they weren't an analogy for anything.

      You could have easily fixed your comment to be actual math, but you didn't and instead you came up with this weird after the fact explanation for your obvious mistake. 12 / 4 = 3 Vs 100 / 4 = 25. See, math is easy when you do it correctly!
