Parent's spaghetti examples weren't the most illustrative.
What I believe they're griping about is that "10°C does not have 10x as much heat as 1°C."
In actuality, "10°C has 10x the difference in heat that 1°C has relative to the freezing point of water."
So it's a comparison definition quirk, not a numerical one.
