What? You mean 40 degrees C is not twice as hot as 20 degrees C? 40 degrees F is twice as hot as 20 degrees F.
I mean, heck, C degrees are all the same size, so if you have twice as many of them, they must be twice as hot. :-) Which is true. The only fallacy was in me comparing them in a linear fashion with Fahrenheit degrees. They aren't on the same scale. I guess I should have indicated it was a "leg pulling" thing.
