I disagree.

For normal people 0 = water freezes, is much more usefull than 0 = absolute lowest temp possible.

K = °C + 273.15

Celcius is much more usefull for most people.

Its so easy to remember water boils at 100, and freezes at 0.

It's no more useful, easier perhaps since that is what people are used to, but not more useful. If people were taught Kelvin as standard then they'd be able to use and understand it just as well, and it would mean no need for negative numbers. Using negative temperatures just seems strange.

Easier to remember = more usefull.

In everyday instances, easy to remember numbers, you ll need alot, are much more usefull than not.

So no, kelvin isnt nearly as usefull.
