Marcus, Just because you can't feel the difference doesn't mean others don't. I definitely notice a temperature difference of 1 degree F in my office. In short sleeves, 72 degrees feels a bit warm, 70 a bit cool, and 71 just right. I know I'm not the only person who would find a thermostat with 1 degree C resolution to be a bit coarse.
