Hot vs Cold. Whenever I talk to people about which is better, they always say they prefer cold. They say that when it's cold, you can always put on more clothes. I find this logic to be faulty. When it's cold, you don't always have a spare jacket around. It's not uncommon to be in an environment where the temperature is much different than you anticipated. In such an event, if it's cold, you only have the clothes that you happened to bring with you. Whereas, if it's hot, you're free to remove as much clothing as you wish. QED.
