It gets way easier for "feel" of weather too! In most habitable places in the world, 0°C is around as cold as you'll regularly see (also a handy number for when you need to watch for ice). Similarly, 40°C is around as high as most habitable places get, also a nice easy number to work with.

In fahrenheit, these numbers are 30 and 105, I mean I can get rounding down for ease of use but you're moving the reference points a lot to make it 25 to 100 for what you usually see and that's certainly not more intuitive than 0-40

Consider it as a general scale from 0-100. First third is freezing, second third is alright, the rest is kinda bleh. Above or below the scale, take caution when you're outside

Especially considering we are water

You forgot about the arbitrary "standard" pressure part and missed the point by a light second.

I didnt forget, i said pretty good frame of reference because it didnt feel necessary given the context of people using it for real world everyday things. Which is typically at "fuck it, close enough" for most people to not have to worry about

If i said perfect, excellent, amazing, the best then i might concede your point, but i didnt so i dont however correct you are that there are other factors that can change the points of reference
