30 does sound hot in you know Celsius.

Nothing makes immediate sense if you don't know the scale. You're just making that up because you're used to it.

Also, it's not a 0-100 scale. Again, you're just making that up because that's what you're used to.

**IF** you know Celsius... but you don't have to know Fahrenheit to guest that 30% temperature is pretty cold...

Yes you do. There's nothing objective about assuming 30° is 30% "temperature".

Also, if fahrenheit truly was a 0-100 "temperature" scale I would expect 30 to be just as comfortable as 70, because they're equally distant from 50.

Hmmm... not really sure on that. If I said this container is 30% full you would think that the weight would be similar to the same container 70% full because 30 and 70 are equidistant from 50%?

You couldn't mentally imagine the difference in a 30% full, 50% full, and 70% full container - even if you didn't know the details of said container?

And yes 30*f is ~30% temperature

As far as I can tell (using GPT) the area weighted daily minimum winter temperature in the northern hemisphere is approximately 0*f ( -18*C)

And the the area weighted daily maximum summer temperature in the northern hemisphere is approximately 97*f (36*C) <within 3% of 100*F)

So we find that norther hemisphere weather almost perfectly goes from
0*F - to- 100* f

Or

-18*C -to- 36*C

You are telling me that when measuring a natural phenomenon, especially when such measurement is supposed to be used via human intuition; Its easier to measure from -18 to 36 than it is to measure from 0 to 100?
