    But 144 is better than 100, for the exact same reason that 12 is better than 10?

    There’s a reason measured angles go to 360ths, then subdivided by 60 or even by 60 again.

    100 is as terrible a base as 10, and you run into it all the time if you’re designing something in metric; you can’t divide by 3 evenly.
