An interesting factoid is that the original Celsius scale was reversed, “In 1742, Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius (1701–1744) created a temperature scale which was the reverse of the scale now known by the name "Celsius": 0 represented the boiling point of water, while 100 represented the freezing point of water.”
“The Celsius scale was based on 0 °C for the freezing point of water and 100 °C for the boiling point of water at 1 atm pressure following a change introduced in 1743 by Jean-Pierre Christin to reverse the Celsius thermometer scale (from water boiling at 0 degrees and ice melting at 100 degrees).”

I’m glad EOU did not make the BESS scale reversed. Considering how sharp folks are getting their blades these days we’d have to be talking BESS numbers like 5,000!
