This knowledge comes in handy with marketing BS around CPU coolers. If an aftermarket cooler gets a CPU to 35C when the stock cooler is at 70C, marketing will sometimes claim it cut temperatures in half.

Do you also say "the temperature in the freezer has doubled" when it goes from -12°C to -24°C? Not saying that would be disingenuous with your arguments.
