There’s nothing common sense about basing your system on the freezing and boiling point of pure water at sea level under specific barometric conditions. At least Fahrenheit was based on the chemical concoction he used to calibrate his thermometers, produced a reliable temperature point regardless of elevation. Water boils at 96 degrees where I reside.
Pretty arbitrary distinction there
No. Just fucking common sense evidence. Not everything needs to be studied, just hand out the birth control.
Yeah him and like 7 million other Americans back then.
