Fahrenheit makes more sense for gauging human comfort. Most people can sense the difference in 1°F. Celsius crams half the degrees between boiling and freezing into one scale.
A difference of 10°F is notable, 10°C is quite notable. 60’s is cool, 80’s is hot. Now do a 20° difference in C. 16 to 26 doesn’t sound like a big difference.
Celsius works better for almost every other useful measurement. Go Kelvin if you must.
It only makes sense to you because you’re accustomed to it, not because it’s innately better at “gauging human comfort”. All of us who grew up using metric know how to gauge comfort with Celsius. None of us bother with decimal fractions of a degree because there isn’t a big enough difference between degrees to do so, so your argument about granularity falls apart pretty quick there. You lot don’t have trouble with miles despite kilometres being more granular do you?
Montreal Hotels had .5°C indications. I’ll stick to °F for human comfort. km/h is the same problem in a way, I need three digits to represent reasonable highway speeds.
This is literally just you being used to one system but not the other. 16 to 26 sounds like a massive difference to me because it is. And decimals exist.

If the number 100 takes you appreciably longer to process than 60, you probably aren’t qualified to be driving anyway.
It’s like talking to an American who keeps asserting they don’t have an accent. If they don’t get it immediately, they’re probably not going to.
