Yeah, no, that's not helpful at all - what I consider cold and what my mum considers cold are very different temperatures, and what I consider hot and my neighbour considers hot has an even bigger difference.
You rationalise it with the "human scale" idea, but really you just know the range of temperatures you're personally comfortable in, just like everyone using Celsius does.
