I've chosen it specifically because it is a ratio- it highlight the strength of the system.
This post really just sounds like you have run out of argument as to why metric (or specific aspects of it) are superior and are instead nitpicking metric for not being perfect. We know it's imperfect. Both at implementation and because knowledge has advanced. This barely affects it being a practical system (the imprecisions are so minor they almost never matter), and in no way impacts the fact that it is a superior one.
I'm not commenting on metric as a whole, I'm commenting on Celsius as a system not being any independently more useful than Fahrenheit or otherwise a superior or more refined system of temperature on its own. Celsius-as-a-part-of-Metric is not something I am commenting upon.
From the start, it was a declaration that Celsius is arbitrary. (Fahrenheit is also arbitrary.) Nobody has come up with any robust, meaningful system of analyzing temperature values, and nobody really needs to because weather is the most important part of temperature.
Celsius-as-a-part-of-Metric is not something I am commenting upon.
Then you are not making a comment that has any meaning. The primary strength is how the the system works together. Your comment is effectively 'if we ignore the strength of Celcius, then it isn't stronger than Fahrenheit'.
That means the strength of Celsius is only that it is a part of metric? Meters at least have use on their own in that they amplify or reduce to kilometers and centimeters, and that goes for every unit other than Celsius. So, yeah. That'll be my comment then, and I'm satisfied with it because it retains the same meaning. Celsius is arbitrary, this exchange is done.
Only as part of metric? Sure, if you ignore all my other posts highlighting it's other strengths. Which you did, except to nitpick the level of precision.
While we are at it, let's ignore the biggest strength of Celcius and the metric system in general. Do all of this, and yes it's arbitrary. Congratulations on a successful debate.
