Yes, Lockhart! This is why you shouldn’t post with jet lag.
He uses a similar approach in “Arithmatic”. He begins the book by describing different base number systems used throughout human history (the way different civilizations did “counting”). He does that in order to argue that a number itself shouldn’t be confused with its representation.
I might check out “Measurement” next! Thanks for the recommendation.
