The article does not say what kind of academic established this formula, but certainly not one with an ounce of mathematical knowledge. One element (Cpm/T) shows an inverse relationship to temperature, so the colder it is, the happier you are. If its the centigrade scale, you are infinitely happy at freezing point.
