I’m pretty sure I’m human, but I like bits better because they have a natural interpretation as the number of answers you’ve received to well crafted yes/no questions, which is something that a 10 year old can understand pretty easily.
I meant the math is easier. The same reason you multiply the log by 10 when using decibels—that way, you can talk about 11 decibels instead of 1.1, which would confuse and frighten people.
