A useful way to think about it (and I think what the OOP is saying) is to think about it as a scale from 0-100. Where 0 is like the coldest humans can deal with and 100 is the hottest humans can deal with. Obviously this isn't strictly true (it gets to like 115 in death valley) but as an imperfect generalization it's pretty useful.

Then 50 is the optimal temperature right?

With 80 being as uncomfortable as 20

Nice sarcasm but I wasn’t telling you to hate it, just that your statement wasn’t logical
