For what its worth - we say "base 10" to mean "decimal". But 10 = 
decimal only when we have already agreed we are talking decimal! 
Consider a planet where residents have 8 fingers. They count 0 1 2 3 4 5 
6 7 10 11. When referring to their number system they also say "base 
10". Ditto for any other number base.

So recognize there is tacit agreement that we are speaking decimal 
unless we say otherwise.

Also if you told a "binary" person that his base was 2 he could not 
understand that. To him it is base 10
