Ummm...because it's traditional?

It's more of an arbitrary choice. My aim here is to make a full systematic way of naming numbers, while yours is more an explanation of the notation. (by the way,, why did you stop at the end of two-row arrays on your pages?)

If you think about it, most systems choose arbitrary numbers as bases. More people would be asking if I some reason chose to base my system on, say, the number 61.
