That's a lot of moved goalposts to justify the weird temperature scale logic but okay.

You've essentially justified that 0F and 100F are what they are because some old people died when it was 100F (most people, including the old are perfectly fine at this temperature all around the world) and because you can manage at 0F while wearing a ton of layers and not need a heat source (do all old people manage to survive just fine at 10F or 20F by just putting on some layers?).

Either way, this pointless conversation had gone on for way too long. Have a good day! :)
