But why? Binary is a better basis for numbering, when I was demo coding in assembler on the Commodore 64, I learned a technique to vastly speed up trig calculations: divide the circle into 256 degrees, you can use simple 8 bit integer math to blast out sine values.
I figure the same should go with time. It’s not like we still use our fingers to count.

Meanwhile, me counting to 4 in base two using my fingers.
