I dunno, man. You’ve been driving home this idea that Fahrenheit is a scale and therefore great for intuiting ambient temperature, you can’t just turn around and be all ‘Well OBVIOUSLY 50% isn’t the neutral point.’

In any scale where 0 is dangerously low and 10 is dangerously high, 5 would be a happy medium.

That’s simply not how scales work. You’ll figure it out someday.

It’s how useful scales work.

But well done on the Herculean effort you’ve put forth in demonstrating your general ignorance.
