That statement seems to imply that base 10 is a good system because we have ten fingers. That is probably the reason why it was created, but we don’t use it because it’s the best – we use it because everybody does. Base 12 is actually a way more useful system since it is divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 (vs. 2 and 5 for base 10), so 1/3 is not 0.3333, but 0.4.
