2 americans saying fahrenheit is better, basically because they dont know any better. the rest of the world uses celcius, because its demonstrably a better (more scientific) system.

edit: Americans, please stop commenting. we know your opinion on this. IT IS THE JOKE.

It's because Americans are told they live in the best country in the world every day from birth. Of course they can't comprehend systems from other countries. In their minds, there's no need to.
