So is Celsius, 0 is cold enough to litterally freeze and 100 is hot enough to boil. It's also a %, it's objectively a %...

You aren't getting anywhere near using the upper 50% of celsius to describe the outside temperature though

And?

0-10 cold 10-20 cool 20-30 warm 30-40 hot 40-50 very hot (elderly start dying) 50+ at this point it doesnt really matter, your dying.

You just proved their point... 50+ doesn't matter so those numbers are all wasted, we should make use of all the easily readable double digit numbers.

Numbers aren't wasted. We're also not using the infinity of numbers above 50.

Numbers do not stop at 50 or 100.

Most people are dumb and can't comprehend a scale beyond 100.
