The funny part is 24 and 60 are already great numbers to base your time system on. They’re both very divisible which means you can divide up the day or hour into halves, thirds, and quarters without dealing with fractional time periods. It would remove a practical aspect of time keeping to no benefit.
Sometimes I feel the social sciences are an elaborate bit. Not only do they not control for the obvious variables, there’s no response once you go avove a certain treshold (indicating that it’s probably the confounding variables at play), and the attractiveness paper divides up the population in sextiles.
