I’m not a bot. (Yes, I copy-pasted that response in one more place in this discussion. Still not a bot.) And as for the precision, at this point, for temperatures in the Celsius, that’s basically just a matter of opinion. I figured in the moment that one digit after the decimal point would be good. No, I did not write a long thesis comparing arguments and pros and cons for any of the options. Sorry if the result didn’t meet your exact preferences.
I’ve been soured by seeing too many temperature-conversion-bot posts on reddit, I suppose. I still say it’s wrong to inject fake precision for this kind of thing, though. It’s just silly – again, nobody goes around talking about the weather, saying that it’s 21.3 degrees out or that the forecast is a high of 70.4 degrees. That’s just absurd.
