Exactly. 100,000 "seconds", 20 "hours" (each hour = 5000 seconds), 50 "minutes" (each minute = 100 seconds). If you're gonna do it, something like that seems sensible. Easily divisible, neat, etc. That said, I don't think the current system is too onerous, 60 is a nice number (thanks Sumerians), and when you bring leap seconds into it it has to be messy anyway, so what's the point? So it's more a thought experiment than anything.
