RE: The Curious Case For Base 12 (Why Dozens Are Easier For Everyday Maths Than Tens)
I adore base 12, but the sheer cost logistically of switching society over to it would be absurdly prohibitive.

Unfortunately that is indeed the case. We not only need to change all our tools and devices, everybody needs to change the way they think about numbers. I love the idea of base 12 too, but I'm sure I'd struggle big time if switched. Most people would simply not want the hassle. It's a pity we didn't move into dozenal earlier before decimal got so deeply entrenched into our minds and lives.
Preach it.
