The dozenal movement seems based (no pun intended) mostly on opposition to the metric system.
The article on page 38 is really funny to anyone not in the US:
Fahrenheit temperature usually ranges from about 0° (cold) to about 100°
(hot). On the other hand, those who use the awkward Celsius scale usually range from
about 18° to about 38°! Interesting.
(18-22 °C is room temperature, 38 °C = 100 °F = hot summer day. 0 °F is way below freezing, a lot colder than it gets in most places!).
And apparently only the metric system was imposed by tyrannical governments. Maybe someone could ask the people in metric countries today if they would like to go back to the "natural" measurements that were in use before that happened? And maybe also switch to counting everything in dozen and gross at the same time.
Even if that really were objectively a better system, I think few would make that change if it wasn't forced on them.
