I thought the comment was useful. I think for those that don't know the basis for the tech, they can read described temps as absolute values. I've seen people misunderstand thermoelectric heater/coolers (Peltier coolers) for similar reasons -- the tech can achieve a temperature differential rather than an absolute temperature as some people expect when comparing to traditional compressor-based fridges. Relative and Absolute temps can generally mess people up too. From the book Humble Pi by Matt Parker: "In September 2016 the BBC news reported that both the US and China had signed up to the Paris Agreement on climate change, summarizing the agreement like this: "countries agreed to cut emissions enough to keep the global average rise in temperatures below 2°C (36°F)." The mistake here is not just that the BBC is still giving temperatures in Fahrenheit but that a change of 2°C is not the same as a change of 36°F, even though a temperature of 2°C is the same as 36°F. If you were outside on a day when the temperature was 2°C and you looked at a Fahrenheit thermometer, it would indeed read 36°F. But if the temperature then increased by 2°C, it would go up only by 3.6°F. The crazy thing is, the BBC initially got it correct. Thanks to the amazing website newssniffer.co.uk, which automatically tracks all changes in online news articles, we can see the chaos in the BBC newsroom as a series of numerical edits. To be fair, the article was part of the live coverage of breaking news and was designed to be regularly updated. The first version of the article that mentioned temperature gave the change as 2°C."
