This is not about 'magic' existing in our current base 10 system we all use, but that our brains have been proven to be "made to use base 10"!!! That's the essence of the research I was talking about.
How is it that the Brits for many centuries had 20 shillings in a pound and 12 pence in a shilling? The French before The Revolution also had 20 sous in a livre and 12 deniers in a sou. The Americans still have 12 inches in a foot and 16 ounces in a pound.
