I won’t argue which is better. But the human body thing has truth to it. He literally designed the scale around common temperatures. 100 was supposed to be human body temperature (he ended up being a little off, but close). And the 0 on the scale was found by just adding ice to salt until it stopped getting colder IIRC.

Common temperatures in some places. And also just because it is scaled this way doesn’t mean it is better. It serves the exact same purpose as any other way to measure temperature.
