The most common defence of Fahrenheit are Americans saying it is the most suited for humans because 0 is “very cold” and 100 “very hot”. That is why people are referencing it with regards to the merits of a temperature scale in this thread.
Oh, I know. I was just agreeing that it would be a crap way to design a system, but that doesn’t also mean that it’s not reasonable for a lot of people to feel like it fits better.
It’s design is as specific as Celsius and it’s only coincidentally lines up with northern temperate.
Preferring 10 degree temperature intervals to 5 degree intervals is a silly reason to give up compatibility, but people have their preferences.
It’s not like we don’t teach metric in schools, or label everything in metric.
