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.
