i mean, fundamentally that’s what that statement would have to mean, unless you’re referring to a rock being more intuitive or something.
ultimately yeah, neither system is more intuitive than the other.
¯_(ツ)_/¯
"Fahrenheit isn't more intuitive" doesn't not mean "Celcius is more intuitive". You're mistaken if you think that's what's being argued here.
Neither one is intuitive. Intuition isn't a useful metric here anyway. After all we could ask: Which one is more intuitive - kilometers or miles? Kilograms or pounds? Do we have to change how me measure time (base 12) to a base 10 as well, would that be more intuitive?
Answer is no. All those units have to be learned and filled with experience anyway. Nobody can interpret temperature scales intuitively, neither Fahrenheit nor Celsius.
Fahrenheit simply has no advantage over Celcius. And it doesn't have to. Some people are used to it, so keep using it by all means. Don't argue that it's superior and we're all good.
Yeah, which is why most people here in favor of Celcius argue that Fahrenheit isn't, in fact, more intuitive and therefore more suited to describe the weather. Both are arbitrary, both can be learned and used very easily, the only difference is what you're used to.
If your example cannot be proven on any existing person I'd argue it's hardly relevant to our reality.
°F most definitely isn't intuitive enough for people who aren't accustomed to it to use. If it is more intuitive at all, it's not to any meaningful degree.
If you somehow knew nothing about each temperature unit, but you did know base 10, I feel like Fahrenheit would be more intuitive.
Would it though? Because it's not like people who didn't grew up with Fahrenheit can just intuitively use and interpret it. Maybe base ten is "more intuitive", but I'd argue not to any meaningful degree. Both scales have to be explained, experienced, and tied to personal reference points.
If that was true outsiders should be able to use Fahrenheit without much explanation. I've never got a clue what the °F values mean, I always have to use a converter. It's really not as intuitive as people who grew up with it seem to believe.
Oh war gar nicht als Kopf waschen gedacht - auf keinen Fall gegen dich, höchstens gegen den Artikel. Keine Fehler machen zu wollen ist doch was sehr menschliches, und in Bezug auf die eigenen Kinder geht das glaube ich allen so.
Ich bin auch keine Erziehungswissenschaftlerin, sondern Psychotherapeutin. Ich glaube das beste, was Eltern für ihre Kinder tun können, ist gesund und glücklich zu sein und eigene Defizite mit Gelassenheit und Selbstmitgefühl hinzunehmen. Wir geben unser bestes, mehr kann niemand verlangen, auch wir selbst nicht. Und wenn du das deinen Kindern vorlebst, hast du ihnen bereits eine unglaublich wichtige Fähigkeit für ihr Leben mitgegeben.
(Abgesehen davon ist ein Kinderarzt ohnehin keine Autorität was gelingende Kindeserziehung angeht. Was er schreibt ist damit maximal eine Privatmeinung, keine Einschätzung einer Fachkraft.)
