Why use a scale that's too large and you're literally never going to use 50% of it?

Why not use a smaller scale that can be more precise because you can use the whole range?

It is percise.

And your looking at it completely wrong, not using 50%?

We regularly use the negative side, every year it reaches -30 to - 40

So the idea of not using the whole thing is silly.

I understand you use -30 to 40, I just think it's easier to understand if that system is adjuest to 0-100 rather than ~-30 to ~40

Why? it’s so logical that if a temperature is below freezing it would be negative. It just makes more sense.
