I see this argument repeated every single time someone tries to defend Fahrenheit.

if "room temperature" was smack in the middle, at 50 degF, you might have a point.

but no, it's pure post-hoc rationalization.

being naked at 0 degF will kill you. being naked at 100 degF will (usually) not. they're not remotely equivalent.

instead, think of it this way - human beings are mostly water, and 0 to 100 degC is "percentage of the way from water's freezing point to boiling point".

room temperature is "about 20% of the way to boiling". 40% or higher starts to cause our bodies to overheat. a typical sauna will be somewhere between 50 and 70% of the way.
