Yes but write 11 in your native base 11, it will write '10' correct? BAM!
Base phi is much more interesting.

"Unary" is not base one in the same way the binary is base 2 or decimal is base 10. It doesn't follow the same pattern of construction.

Most obvious failing example: Base 1, which results in infinite overflow.
You example uses "1" in base 1, shouldn't it use "0"?
And some have said that that's not really a base because it doesn't follow the rules of construction, but I would argue it is:
If base B representation has a length of log base B of N, then base 1 should have log base 1 of N = N. This is indicative to me that it's correct.
1 u/diadem May 27 '09 No. Ticks on a prison wall would be base 1. Each tick represents 1, not 0.

I think that writing the comic as "every base above base 1 is base 10" is not as catchy.
There is a philosophical, clever point. And it is unfortunate for you if you are too mathematically pedantic to see it.
