What makes you think Farenheit is more precise for "human liveable" temperatures?

The temperature is the same. Regardless of which unit you use to document it in.

Which is why I think any argument between Celsius and Fahrenheit is completely arbitrary.

Like, the temperature that water melts and boils is completely dependant on pressure. If I follow a recipe I'll use the temp they recommend. My computer's heart gauge uses Celsius. I don't need to know what it is in Fahrenheit to know if it's overheating.
