@Drew: You could also say that everyone should do math in binary because it has only 2 digits and is "simpler". But by convention, most countries use a base 10 number system. After all, if Fahrenheit works well, what's the need to switch? It would be one thing if somehow using Fahrenheit would lead to inaccuracies, but it just scales differently from Celsius.
