There is another human advantage to Fahrenheit: the degrees are more precise. One degree Fahrenheit is a noticeable but small difference. One degree Celsius is 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit, a much bigger difference. You're practically forced to use half degrees, which works but is ugly.
If the SI people could have broken with the idea that everything must be a strict power of 10, they could have used 200 degrees instead of 100 and had much more human-friendly units.
