The difference is in absolute value.

5°C = 41°F as an absolute value.

As a DIFFERENCE value, 5 Celsius degrees is roughly equivalent to 9 Fahrenheit degrees...............

Example:

20°C = 68°F
25°C = 77°F

Ergo

A 5°C DIFFERENCE = a 9°F DIFFERENCE...............

Right. A 5°C DIFFERENCE = a 9°F DIFFERENCE

I don't want someone thinking that the Oprah-fish can raise him/herself to cookin' temperature, is all. The amount of difference is significant, but relatively slight.

Thank you for educating us out here.
