Why is it better to use a thermometer rather than your sense of touch?

It is better to use a thermometer rather than your sense of touch because everyone's sense of touch is different, and the amount of heat you feel can only be felt to a certain point before you pull your hand away from the object being too hot or cold. In addition, your sense of touch is very inaccurate, because you cannot measure on a specific unit scale, but only on a hot-or-cold scale.

When using a thermometer, it can measure specific degrees, and will be precise, accurate, and correct every time you use a functioning thermometer.
