.... system amongst the Incas is of some modest interest. I was struck by the use of the word "modest" it sounds a bit like academic jealously. but will take your word that he is a nice guy.

I think GU's working on the assumption that although the Italian dude's system could work, it probably wasn't the way the Inca did things. I don't know the full grounds for why he came to that assumption, but I guess it's primarily grounded in the Base10 vs Base40 debate, which he seems very confident about.
