So does Mr. Horton's suggestion make sense?

It is not without merit. How fussy do you want to get?

Perhaps ultimately, its utility depends on how you yourself
think; the quantities themselves are unaffected by whether you
choose to think of them in terms of ratios w.r.t. other familar
quantities (logarithmic, dB), or linarly, in which cse your mind
needs to be prepared to accommodate a bit of bending.

Perhaps neither one is better than the other; though maybe one is more
compatible with how we quantify and visualise values whose ranges span
multiple decades.
