    You are right, of course.

    But I didn’t even notice the red gauge you are referring to because I was way too distracted by the temperature range and especially unit of measurement on the right… milli Electron Volts per Kelvin… yeah, ok…

      Left is in common sense units, right is in intelligence units. There is no “freedom” (to be ignorant) units though no.

      Also sorry for the burn but it is a deserving burn at least.

        I am afraid I have to burn you back.

        I speak SI, and that is actually the reason, why I questioned the metric on the right. You see, milli Electron Volt per Kelvin is neither a unit of temperature, nor does it make any other sense in this context that I am aware of.

        But the thing is I just realized that there is no “Kelvin” on the right side, because the “K” in reality is a “k”. Would have been clearer if they had used the subscript kB, as in “Boltzmann-Konstante”.

        Now it makes perfect sense, although it still is a somewhat weird unit to express a human body temperature in…

        I’m curious about what, exactly, you think makes using a scientific measurement ignorance just because it’s not as culturally efficient.

        Intransigence, maybe.
