[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 8646950, member: 23751"] You're entire argument is that the numbers are useless because we all feel heat differently. Why would someone ask me such a useless question? I can't answer that for them. I can only give them the useful number of, "It's 73 out right now." and let them make the decision, because that 73 might be hot, cold or just right to [B]me[/B]. If you are correct and we all feel heat differently, then the most useful information is the objective temperature. If there are three of us and one of us feels 80 degrees as hot, another as cold, and the third as just right, then we can't say answer the question, "Hey I'm getting dressed is it warm out?" with a yes or no. We should tell the person that it's 80 and let them decide. They will know whether the objective temperature is hot, warm, just right, cool or cold. Not me. No. I'm pointing out that the numbers are all that convey the answers. We all know which numbers feel like what to us. The best thing that can be done is to give out the objective temperature and let people decide for themselves. [/QUOTE]
