So who decided base10 is correct ?

idk, not me. I don't really care either. I just responded because I think the 1/6 argument is cherry picked, and to me it's not even base10 vs base12 argument, that's your hill to die on, while still counting base12 in base10 (because in base12 12 is 10 but I'm sure you know already)

I just don't like this weird "gotcha" in favor of imperial system, I think it's dumb.

But keep on fighting for base12 brother, it seems to matter a lot to you.

    Hey it's me some French guy on the internet. I think the main argument for the metric system is how they all connect together in a simple way. 1km is 1000m, one cube meter of water is 1000L, etc. We don't really care what the base unit is.
