IIRC the scenario was with clothing on where people spend extended period of time outdoors in the cold. E.g. shoveling snow, hiking on a cold day, etc.

Activity makes a big difference. Sitting outdoors for 4-6 hours without a coat in 40F would mean hypothermia for most people. Heck, I lose peripheral circulation and get sick more easily after sitting outdoors for just an hour or two in 50F WITH a coat if it's not an adequate one.
