Personally, I would argue against 2 even for partitioning. It doesn't
have enough extra factors. 10 isn't bad (you get 2 and 5). 12 would be

I do a lot of physical construction, wood butchery, boats,
sheds, etc. Mostly crude. It is far easier to put a nail or
screw in the middle of a panel, then another in the middle
of the halves, etc. then to futz with a ruler ... etc.
There is huge amout of work where excess precison is just
a waste of time. But then I am not and have no desire to
be a craftsman.
Let me be contrary again.
The most accurate woodworkers I know tend to avoid rulers.
They may start out with accurate ruler-based measurements, but, after
that, they work by transferring actual traces of cuts from board to
board with scribe and straightedge rather than using a ruler.
Not only is it more accurate, it's *faster*. I wish I could make
dovetails like they do.
Measurement does not always imply a ruler.
