The body temperature is "consistently reproducible"? I guess in the same way that the length of a foot is consistently reproducible - everyone can *try* to reproduce it, but inevitably got different results.
To start off, which part of the body do you measure your "body temperature"? Different part give different temperature. Then when? Woman, obviously, would give you slightly different body temperature at different day. Even man, would have slight variation during different body condition, e.g. just woke up, after some exercise, being tired, being excited.
Then there are variations between different people.
No, Fahrenheit is as "logical" a scale as using a foot as length measurement. The only reason it stuck around so long is because Americans refuse to learn anything different.
