Why binary?

I once skimmed a biography of Ramanujan, he started
multiplying numbers in his head as a pre-teen. I suspect
it was grindingly boring, but given the surroundings, might
have been the most fun thing he could think of.   If you're
autistic, then focusing obsessively on some task might
be a great way to pass the time, but if you're more or less
normal, I doubt you'll get very far with obsessive-compulsive
self-training -- and that's the problem, isn't it?
