So your position is that whatever we are taught as children, we naturally consider superior. I strive to be more of a free thinker.

It’s patently obvious that having 16 versus 8 gradations to describe an appropriate temperature range is superior. But you can’t even accept that minor concession.

Yet you fail miserably. Arguing your deeply learned arbitrary system is better than other peoples deeply learned arbitrary system.

I can’t, 1 degree C is all the accuracy I’ve ever needed, for anything honestly.

My position is both systems are arbitrary, both systems have ranges appropriate for humans, both systems have all the accuracy most people would ever need. I haven’t seen any actual objective arguments to the contrary. Lots of qualia arguments mind you, but none objective.
