        So we use fractions of 100 instead of fractions of 10 because base 60 was too useful? How does that make any sense? The question wasn’t why we use base 100 instead of base 60.

                No, it’s a full-on non-sequitur. As I said, the question wasn’t why we use fractions of 100 instead of fractions of 60, but why we use fractions of 100 instead of fractions of 10. What you’re saying doesn’t relate at all to my question.

                But I’m done here, you’re either arguing in incredibly bad faith, or you’re not capable of understanding my questions. Either isn’t something I’ll spend more time on.
