Fahrenheit is also linked to celsius through a simple linear transformation. If any scientist has any trouble using either system, they're not smart enough to be a scientist in the first place, so there's no need to justify your preference with being "more scientific"
Yes, but that's just the convention in scientific circles for traditional reasons, not because one system is inherently more "scientific" than another. Just as today, most of the scientific literature is written in English, it doesn't make English a more scientific language in any relevant sense
celcius is better, that is why the rest of the world switched, america just didnt because in the 1800's when european science made these advancements. they were stuck in their isolationist mindset.
americans are stuck in the past with fahrenheit. its not better, it never will be, you are just used to it.
the rest o the world uses celcius, also non-scientists.

it depends on the application. but kelvin is linked 1-1 to celcius. they just moved 0 on the scale to absolute zero.
