Not what I said. I said that, sub-dividing days is not really simpler with base 10, and that sub-dividing time is pretty important practical aspect of time-keeping.
Repeating the same thing you said before isn't the best way of clarifying what you mean, but fair enough, I do now understand what you're trying to say.
