The arguments Fahrenheit’s defenders make are not objective, they vary from person to person. Does a hot summer’s day feel like 100%? Yes, no, maybe? For me it doesn’t, I’ve been in a sauna. Does an arbitrary distance below freezing feel like 0%? Or does 0% come earlier, i.e. once you can no longer exist without clothing?
If the defenders made arguments like “it’s neat to have 100° at body temperature” I wouldn’t say anything. But the arguments they make (see my quote) are not factual.
Why is that stupid? It’s based off salt water. You’re mostly salt water.

Oh, yeah. All temperature experience is subjective. It’s just that F is closer to “big round numbers” than C for our experiences.
