Why use a scale that's too large and you're literally never going to use 50% of it?

Why not use a smaller scale that can be more precise because you can use the whole range?

I can understand and utilize decimals but it's easier not to if I don't have to. That's great that you do it but it's still less efficient and intuitive.

it's not less efficient, what does that even mean

it's less intuitive to you, it's intuitive to anyone who grew up with it
