And then there's the bit about having to talk about Kelvin so they don't think the temperature (well thermal energy anyway) doubles when you go from 20C to 40C (I still have to talk to relatives about how grilling doesn't take any longer/more energy when you do it in the winter than the summer because a change of 10K is not a big deal when the inside is 700K.
