yeah but why does that matter? It's all relative, the only good thing about celsius is that it happens to line up nicely with one specific elements boiling point. If you're doing science the only redeeming quality is that it maps linearly to kelvin, which is nice.

some of the relative math is nice, for certain units. But outside of that, for like, temperature, and cooking where none of that matters?
