Yeah. I can see how they might not know that "eleven" comes from the Anglo-Saxon for "one left over," or that "Dozen" comes from "Two plus ten"

But they do know that they're criticizing a Decimal system... You'd think they'd notice the link between that and 'dek' (their new word for the number after 9), at least.

tsk. It's that old division between the "hard" studies (math and science), and the "Soft" ones (history and languages): words are not worth paying attention to.
