Except you don't actually need that level of accuracy when talking about temperatures humans experience.

For example, has the ability to identify outside temperature of 72 fahrenheit, not 71 fahrenheit, ever made a single bit of difference to any persons day to day experience? I really can't believe that would be true.

Places that use Celsius have no problem referring to temperatures for weather so the argument that farhenheit scale is superior due to more precision doesn't hold up.

The best temperature scale for weather is always going to be the one that everyone in that area is familiar with and nothing more than that.
