While I agree in general with the sentiment, there is no actual advantage of C over F in doing calculations.

C and F are both European temperature systems based on 100 degrees. For C there are 100 degrees between the temperature at which water freezes and boils; for F there are 100 degrees between the usual hottest and coldest temperatures in Europe at the time.
