    Many arguments used in this thread still apply. E.g.:
    - SI is how "science is done," therefore no one should ever use anything else.
    - "Continually converting" between the two "is confusing and a distraction to learning".
    - What if when building an oven or engine or rocket, some people use Centigrade, while others use Kelvin. Disaster could result!!
    - Centigrade is the old/original standard. Kelvin is the current standard. What, are you some kind of luddite?

                      No, but ... Sam, Cow Poke, Teallaura, Jedidiah, Cerebrum123, One Bad Pig, Roy, RumTumTugger amen'd this post ... looks suspiciously like even Jed is willing to apostatize on this one.

                          Why didn't I think of that?
                          The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                            The non-existent one sees things that do not exist. Imagine that.
                            Enter the Church and wash away your sins. For here there is a hospital and not a court of law. Do not be ashamed to enter the Church; be ashamed when you sin, but not when you repent. – St. John Chrysostom

                              You're back. Which is quite an accomplishment for someone who doesn't exist. Congratulations on you win.
