Fahrenheit is an objectively better scale for humans. Fight me.

Freezing and boiling can be directly correlated to weather though which is where temperature is most useful. While the weather is never "boiling", the upper limit can be used as a relative reference.

Anecdotally I've found celsius easier to rationalise about when cooking than Fahrenheit. But that could easily be attributed to bias because I've used celsius all my life until now.

When do you need to rationalize temp when cooking?
-
The scale seems more linear when adjusting temperature.
-
Why would that be, since the two scales are directly correlated?

Neither is Kelvin, since 0K is pretty much as unfathomable as infinity. I wonder what the smallest difference in temperature is detectable by most humans is?
-
Whoa That puts 2C global warming in a new perspective for me. Up to 100x more than we can sense.

A reasonably scaled measure of air temperature has more day to day value to humans than the freezing point and boiling point of water, both of which have visible attributes. Do you care much to know 75C water? Fahrenheit is better for air temperature.
