    But it is not about originality.

    People watch the Olympics to see peak humans perform amazing feats of athleticism. It is a competition of the ages spread over all countries.

    If someone performs something every regular person would be capable of, especially on purpose, it mocks the sport and the Olympic competition in general.

    If you’d say it is 100F outside, I wouldn’t know what you mean because I have no concept of Fahrenheit. Is 100F actually hot? What is that in Celsius? Do you mean hot as in “better to wear light clothes” or “Do not set a foot outside or you will melt”?

    What does it mean “as hot as a normal person can really tolerate”? What about a abnormal person?

    It gives nothing of information. Just a rough indication of what it might be. Which isn’t useful at all.

    Strange, because it is bullshit.

    Fahrenheit isn’t how people feel, otherwise 50° would be perfect temperature.

    You Americans are just used to thinking in Fahrenheit, that is why you think it is how humans feel. As a European, I “feel” in Celsius.
