no. it doesn't matter. small constant factors do not have an impact on mathematical beauty.

{pi, 2pi} is nicer to deal with than {tau, tau/2}.

pi is defined by the diamenter, and everything else that relate to circles is defined by the radius, so yes, he's a fucking mistake

>pi vs tau
irrelevant
we deserve a dodecal number system.
what would pi look like with base 12?

did any historical country ever use base 12? I know the babylonians used 60

Base 60 is a simple multiple of base 12. That's why we measure time in both.

People who think tau is easier to understand than pi because radians, doesn't understands radians at all.

No because typing $2*\pi$ is way easier than going $\frac{tau}{2}$ .

Yes, but more often as a side base. Don't look further than US Inches.

Would there be any advantages to a base 11 number system?

Tau is 6.28
Tau is 2 Pi
2 sixes is 66
that leaves us with .28
8-2=6
put it all together and you get 666
The number of the beast is 666

Tau is a form of satanic worship.
