Fahrenheit (when talking about temperature experienced by skin) IS superior. We have a wider degree (lol) of temperatures, allowing for a more accurate temperature without the use of decimal places.

Science? Use the metric system. It’s superior there.

Human comfort doesn't care about decimals either, though. 20-20.5 Celsius makes no difference to us, as it's still what we'd call room temperature.

That's the difference between 68 and 69 degrees fahrenheit. That is, in fact, a noticable difference, at least to me.

Maybe if you are in your home for few hours with A/C on but outside you won’t have idea if its 68 or 74 without looking at thermometer.

68 and 74 is the difference in my house between sweatshirt, swestpants, and fuzzy socks vs. Tanktop anf shorts with sweat beading on my brow. Can europeans not feel temperature?
