You have obviously never used anything other than basic math if you automatically dismiss other base systems. Which are commonly used in more advanced math applications.
In Base6 5+2=11. There's no "opinion" you get to have on that. It is a fact. Period.

Like I said above, if we had 6 fingers, or 8 or 12 or 22, instead of 10, we'd most likely be using a different base.
