Actually if you want to play the devil's advocate you could make a case
that the Fahrenheit system is closer to the true meaning of the metric
system them the Celsius system because in the world of humans Zero (0
degrees F)  is approximately as cold as it gets in the real world and 100
(100 degrees F) is approximately as hot as it gets in the real world (may o
menus as the say in Argentina).

Also Fahrenheit has finer gradations 73 degrees F is 23 degrees C, but so
is 74 degrees F.

What does this have to do with tango? Nothing!  40 degrees C in Buenos
Aires in January is hot in any system.

Ciao,
Andy
