The only temperature scale that isn't arbitrary is Kelvin, because it has an actual absolute zero. So 0 in Farenheit is freezing point of water and salt solution, which does have scientific application. What difference does it make? The compression of the Celsius scale forces you to use decimal points for any kind of reasonable daily use which sucks. I am not saying Fahrenheit is better, I am saying neither is better. They are both arbitrary. It doesn't matter which one you prefer, it's just what you are used to. The other metric units are objectively superior and given to greater precision.
Imperial units are dumb. We, in the US, would be much better off if we just bit the bullet. I am sure if an effort were made, however, it would become another insane political squawk point about American superiority.
Except Celsius, both scales are arbitrary (and no, there is no advantage to freezing and boiling point of water being 0 and 100).
I don't know where you got that read, but I've never heard anyone say anything even close to that before and I've read about and been involved in analysis and discussion over this film for years. Everyone is, of course, entitled to their own interpretation of any art work, but this is one of the simplest and least intuitive I have ever heard.
AI is awful.
