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.


**I agree that there is no specific advantage in Celsius, except, of
course, that it dove-tails neatly with Kelvin measurements. SI units, on
the whole, however, are universally accepted and logical for humans to
work with. No one of any consequence bothers with Imperial measurements
any longer.
