There are some places that do use a base 12 number system.

Again, I wasn't defending it, just explaining it.

A truly logic system would be entirely designed around a base-12 number system. But we were born with an imperfect set of 10 fingers and that doomed us.

Those aliens have 6 fingers. It's an absolutely ironic twist that their discussion on measuring systems is super illogical for them, and yet logical is the verbiage they use.

Ah nice, this should be a constructive dialogue between open minded and empathetic individuals.

TLDW: metric is better because all the different kinds of units were designed to work together.

Where as imperial units developed organically, within specific trades/use cases. They're not all supposed to work together.

I use imperial because that's what I was raised with, but I recognize metric is better in many ways. My only gripe with metric is the gap in units between Centimeters and Meters. A foot is convenient size for most things.

In this thread: people bending over backwards to defend their insane, non-logical unit of measurement
