    to a european like me 90 ‘%’ or 20 ‘%’ human comfort would be very confusing - you could probably guess that one is hot and the other’s not but I’d have no point of reference until I convert it to Celcius. I think the numbers that someone grows up with will always make more sense no matter what

      I mean we use scales from 0 to 100 in every field. -18 to 38 is a scale used absolutely nowhere.

      But I agree Humans can get used to pretty much anything, and once they do - it’s all they will prefer over the unknown.
