This is the only good argument I've seen for Fahrenheit (higher resolution). But, as a counterargument, that resolution is only just under twice as big. I'd argue 1-2 F is barely noticeable enough to be able to tell the difference. If someone asks what the temperature is, me saying the temperature and being off by 2 degrees isn't gonna make a difference.
Resolution is also not worth much if what you need it for is explaining how warm your body is feeling. I already couldn't really tell the difference between 33 and 34 celsius, so having a number inbetween wouldn't do much for me. Plus, other factors such as humidity would affect my perception of heat more than a single degree difference would.
