    Well I’d say that’s why op chose the adverb “fairly”, it gets across that it’s a wide range and lacks specificity.

    Not completely useless as a baseline, but fairly general.

      Obviously the freezing point of water is also a range (depending on purity, altitude, etc) but would you say it’s less, or more specific?

        Compared with the human experience of “cold”? More specific, even when talking about ocean water and water on mountains or whatever altitude water you’re talking about.
