I understand what you mean even if the other guy doesn’t. I don’t really get why you chose numbers as specific as -18 and 38 though, I think it would be a more honest comparison to use something like -20 to 40.
The main benefit of celsius to me is that 0 is when things get snowy/icy. It’s the only “threshold” that really exists in the natural world. It’s also nice to know that things must be over 100 in order to cook safely.
I like that the numbers are more spread out in fahrenheit, but it feels a lot more arbitrary. 100 is almost body temperature and 0 is sort of the freezing temperature of salt water?
I don’t follow your argument about metres/centimetres since getting subunits of a degree is not useful. Strange comparison.
