All you've done is say "people use decimal" in long form. If one writes and
speaks tonal, and adopts the "overall" tonal system, decimal has no
advantage... Nystrom addresses all these common (and not so common-- even
music!) situations in his book, with exception obviously to digital data sizes
(bytes) which are very trivially adapted in with the rest.
This is really no longer even marginally relevant. This has become a
discussion of why hex counting or decimal counting is or is not
superior, which is not really something that is subject to judgment
here. If all you are doing is pointing out why teaching hex counting is
better or worse, you shouldn't be posting it here.
