You are putting far too much weight in arbitrary numbers, probably due to personal familiarity.

0°F is a big milestone? I'll claim 1°F should be the milestone instead, or -5.4°F, or 2.33333°F.

15°C or 12°C or something is an important temperature if you live in the tropics without a heating system.

bmitc reacted to the comment that said "Temperature near 100°C is important when we cook (eggs, pasta, rice)." By asking when that info is important. They are not the one here that put weight in arbitrary numbers, at least in that last comment.

For the tea preparation, we shall use hot water below 100°C. french site: https://www.fauchon.com/fr/mag/conseils/quelle-temperature-d...

Or just; don't use boiling water.
