    I think I came across as saying something different than I intended. I wasn’t arguing that Fahrenheit IS more precise. I was saying it feels more precise.

    If I’m measuring a length, then metric feels more precise. I can measure 1035mm in a nice, whole, number while 40.74803 inches is a length I can’t measure well with a measuring tape and I’d probably end up calling it 40.75" which, even then, still isn’t a whole number. I’m just talking about the perception, not the actual useful nature.

      I get what you’re saying. It just doesn’t make sense to me. But that’s because I’m accustomed to metric.
