I agree but it's more important that we share a common system and it's incredibly expensive to switch (not just monetarily). For better or worse, if there's gonna be one system it will be decimal. Take heart that decimal time didn't catch on.

100 hour days are exactly what I think of the metric system. It's good for science and engineering, so you're not constantly converting bases; but when it comes to daily, human-scaled activity, I want numbers that are small and easy to divide. 1 / 4 == 3 is a lot nicer than 1 / 4 == 25.

On the other hand, you just calculated the wrong number for how many hours are in a quarter of a day.
