you think there are sectarian conflicts between like arabic numerals, babylonian base 12, i ching base 2, hindu numbers, roman numerals, etc?

"No it isn't 2 towers, they are two 1's so it's actually 3 in base 2!!"

"Nuh-uh, it's a signed bit so it's negative 1"

"You fools! they are two I's therefore it is II or 2!"

"11 two 1's make 11!!1!"

or something like that i think
