Of course the research assistant should know what scale to use but that's beside the point.A scientist and his research assistant are studying the effect of climate change in antarctica. One day, the scientist goes to take a temperature reading (a routine procedure) and tells his assistant to record that it's -40 degrees out. The assistant asks "Fahrenheit or Celsius?" to which the scientist replies "Doesn't matter." The scientist is a reputable man and is normally very meticulous with the accuracy of his data, so why would he not care which scale it's in today?
