So, you belong to the first type and Mike belongs to the other. :)

The people who know that the words "ten" and "two"
refer to the same numerical value definitely understand
binary.

In the binary world "two" is just a nickname for binary "ten".

Using the word "two" in binary is a common habit.
It's like calling a decimal 10 in decimal system an "A".
