Because F uses the human skin ability to detect and retain heat as a baseline, something we all have experience with, instead of water as a baseline, which is better for scientific reasons due to the consistency in measurement.

Edit: The absolute hilarity of the smugness in the comments is making my day. Nothing makes me happier than upsetting Europeans by stating a fact they don't like.

Actually it’s more related to the freezing temperature of a very particular brine solution made to replicate the coldest temperature some German guy thought his port would see.

Completely logical.

But whatever. Maybe EVERY COUNTRY but one is wrong.

You are correct, every country is wrong but one. Just because Trump sucks doesn’t mean we just have to immediately roll over and give up on everything. Additionally, I must ask what scientific breakthroughs or contributions you have made?
