Ya know, I might be in love with ten. I have ten fingers, ten toes, a family of ten (7 people and 3 dogs) and am about to celebrate my 10th wedding anniversary.

All joking aside though, a superior measuring system is one that can be easily used, therefore making accuracy easier to attain more consistently. Most people struggle with fractions and fractions are the cornerstone of the SAE system.
