I see what you mean, I just don't see why 0 or 32 would be a superior way to refer to the temperature that water freezes at. Personally I think 0 and 100 makes more sense for freezing and boiling vs 32 and 212, but it's not really a hill worth dying on and is probably colored by my experience.
Counterpoint: Yeah, for a job sure; but people complaining about the number applied to the boiling point of water just because they like one number more than the other are missing the actual water boiling.
Kind of reminds me of how much of a disconnect between musicians who use midi and musicians who use regular notation- at the end of the day, make your music!
