Arbitrary choice in the face of uncertainty isn't wrong though; it is an aprroxumation technique. "Room temperature" is arbitrary, but 75F is better than 100F

"Room temperature" is arbitrary, but 75F is better than 100F or 0F

However IMO the organic / non-organic classification is a non-useful and misleading abstraction unlike the term "room temperature".
