You say laziness, I say efficiency. More math than necessary is always too much math. It will always be more important to divide things by halves and thirds than by halves and fifths. I would apologize to the French for that, but I'm not going to apologize for always preferring multiples of sixty to multiples of fifty, to a people who count by twenties. If you don't count in decimal, you don't get to be judgemental.
