Why are hexagonal headed bolts and nuts usually preferred to square headed bolts and nuts?

Having 6 points of contact rather than just 4 (for square bolts and nuts) reduces the tendency to damage the nuts by shearing the edges. Of course, square bolts have an advantage if using an alternative tool (pliers, lock-grips) to hold or turn the bolt, because there is a wider surface to grip than with hex bolts.
