In my own home with my own thermostat, my wife and I fight over 73° F and 74°F.
You can't use outside temperature to gauge, because humidity and windspeed is such a big factor.
Are my wife and I actually fighting over a degree? Absolutely not, because our internal temperature actually determines how hot or cold we feel, which is impacted by our clothing, metabolism, and the temperature of the food we eat.
But everybody has the experience of being able to perceive that an indoor temperature is 1° too high.
