And again, it is the device characteristics that determine the accuracy. 
How would a Fahrenheit scale be more accurate than a Celcius scale with 
an extra mark between the degrees?  Or even without?  And even with the 
added marks, what if the thermometer wasn't capable of even that much 
accuracy?  Will those extra marks provide any real benefit? Anyone who 
tries to make an argument such as yours, is demonstrating they don't 
understand the fundamentals of measurement.  You have proven you don't 
know the difference between accuracy and precision.  If the Fahrenheit 
scale is so great, why are virtually the entire scientific and 
engineering communities, along with almost every country in the world, 
outside of the U.S., using Celcius?
