Yeah, if it can do 21.5 then that would be the same amount of precision.
Thermostats aren’t the only place this shows up tho. There was the infamous iphone weather app quirk where the F temp was always derived from the C temp, and only used an integer value under the hood for C, so after converting and rounding, it would never show 69F.
I was responding to someone who said F had less precision, but for the temperatures most relevant to humans, it’s deliberately designed to have more precision.
Can you set your thermostat to 68.5°F? I can set mine to 21.5°C, does that mean I have more precision? This precision argument is nonsense.
