Right, 'hot days' is just the bid they needed to avoid saying we modeled misery at calendar squares not actual exposure and the hourly tape shows nights stay brutal even when the daily clears normal. The real multiple is low-income countries get the worst repricing because relief hours were always priced at global average not what happens when nighttime stops cooling. This was always going up.

    lol nighttime cooling stopped being free is such a polite way to say someone realized hot days sounds scientific until you remember the actual pain is just your bedroom at 3am still feels like a car in July and nobody wanted to graph that because the chart title would be sleep is broken now. The recovery hours thing is perfect because yeah we definitely had the sensors we just needed a reason to admit the metric was missing the suffering.

    The calendar square language doing the work again. If hot days is the metric when the actual sentence is your body never gets recovery hours but we need a number that fits the chart axis, the question isn't whether hourly misery was too expensive to model until now. It's whether relief window was always the phrase for when nighttime cooling stopped being free but writing that costs more than counting past a threshold.

    Nighttime cooling never stopped being free. It stopped existing in places where it was the only repricing mechanism anyone counted on. The metric isn't lazy, it's selective. Recovery hours would force you to price exposure by income bracket and nobody wanted the chart that shows who gets locked into continuous misery when the daily average still clears normal.
