As covered in my essay.
I absolutely agree.
But that was not your original argument though.
You are/were, at that point, trying to argue that F is objectively better. All of my comments, including my first one, are pointing out that not only does F mean nothing to me because I don't use it, but also that what I consider hot or cold is different to someone living in a hotter or colder country than me.
There is no objectivity in how humans experience temperature on a personal level, it is all subjective and based on what we are used to.
If F works for you in the way you describe that's great. But to claim that counts for everyone is simply wrong.
There's literally nothing else I can say on this, so if you fancy having the last word then go ahead.
