    What you grew up with =/= what is intuitive.

    That is not what intuitive means. You’re talking about what’s “familiar”.

    Familiarity is subjective. Intuitiveness is objective.

      If we want to go that road, intuition is according to Wikipedia:

      Intuition is the ability to acquire knowledge, without recourse to conscious reasoning or needing an explanation.[2][3] Different fields use the word “intuition” in very different ways, including but not limited to: direct access to unconscious knowledge; unconscious cognition; gut feelings; inner sensing; inner insight to unconscious pattern-recognition; and the ability to understand something instinctively, without any need for conscious reasoning.[4][5] Intuitive knowledge tends to be approximate.[6]

      Since every temperature system needs an explanation, namely the reference points, no system is or even can be intuitive per this definition.
