You can’t trust thermostat ratings

They have to because it's a curve based on how the thermostat is made. They don't just "pop" open at *** temperature. lol
Then it must be a "so n so is my forum hero so I'm listening him" deal... because I've said this..and on this site for decades and everytime its brought up it's like I have to re convince some folks. And yeah the orielys manager part was classic:eek:..you know you're a friend when I hold back from that kind of opportunity:D
Even motortrend explains it wrong.
There is a bunch of confusion out there...hope they all figure it out and feel like schmucks for telling me I'm wrong...when I'm trying to help.
