Strange, because it is bullshit.

Fahrenheit isn't how people feel, otherwise 50° would be perfect temperature.

You Americans are just used to thinking in Fahrenheit, that is why you think it is how humans feel. As a European, I "feel" in Celsius.

Rating inflation. If someone called you a 5 or 6 out of 10, you'd feel bad. 7/10 is the bottom of acceptability, just like 72° is room temperature.
