The Fahrenheit scale is considered to be the LEAST useful temperature scale for scientific purposes because:
A) it is too difficult to convert Fahrenheit data into the Celsius scale.
B) the original fixed points for the scale were arbitrarily (and poorly) chosen, giving 0°F no real meaning.
C) the modern Fahrenheit scale does not properly identify the steam point of water.
D) the Celsius scale was created first, and so has a longer tradition with the scientific community.
