    I literally used the term precision in every post, it’s what my initial is about, and you’re just now telling me that’s not what you were talking about? Also my first post I did not say they were perfectly interchangeable, I pointed out there is no loss of precision, and explicitly noted that you have to include the offset.

    So now I’m confused as to why you chimed in at all.

      No? I said as much in my very first comment.

      But yes, the sizes of the units are the same.

      And technically, that’s only the case as of 2019, when Celsius was decoupled from the properties of water. Before that, kelvin was more precise, since it did not depend on controlling for pressure. Before 2019, there were precision discrepancies between K and °C.
