You are correct… kind of. It’s a weak defense because you can always use a decimal to get more precision, and thermometers are only so accurate in their measurements anyway.

You can do about as well with increments of 0.5 degrees Celsius as you can with whole degrees Fahrenheit, and most medical thermometers are only accurate within about 0.1° – 0.3° C anyway.
