Just a few observations... not for or against either system, just things of interest.

32 F is the freezing point of water. 32 C is rather warm. As a reference point, 37 C is body temperature.

100 C is the boiling point of water. 100 F can be attained just by having a fever. 98.6 F is body temperature.
