I think this is it. The 5 factors instead of 3.
I also think there was something to do with fractions of an inch too. Like that divisibility was also an advantage of imperial.
Even these people who are screeching "decimal for everything!" in the thread still use dozenal for time, months, and cartons of eggs.
Meanwhile I'm bucking trends as an advocate of the dozenal metric system.
