Nearly every human being on Earth (exceptions being people with certain health conditions) is capable of being perfectly comfortable at 78 degrees, they just have to adjust to it. My comment isn't directed at someone who is saying "I'm used to being colder than 78 degrees and that seems a little hot to me". My comment is directed at the people who act like a room being 78 degrees is a war crime and, as originally quoted, "kills old people". That kind of perspective is narrow-minded and dismisses the billions of humans who don't live spoiled lives inside 65 degree buildings every day (I say this as someone who prefers my apartment to be an icy 68 degrees).

I never would have imagined that I could ever be comfortable at this temperature. Now I'm suspicious that I could grow to be comfortable at temperatures several degrees higher...
