    That’s as hot as a person can really tolerate.

    There’s large chunks of the world proving that false every day. For the geographically impared, the simple fact that Phoenix has existed for longer than air conditioning, proves that statement false.

    And 0F as the low point is equally as useless.

    “Intuitive” is a meaningless metric for a single scaled number. Whichever system you are used to will be the more “intuitive”.

    Also, climate can play into which system feels more useful. Where I live, 100F occurs only rarely (and since air conditioning is almost ubiquitous, not something I’d bother looking out for), while 0C is an outdoor temperature that I do need to be aware of for half the year.
