Nobody is arguing that? :dunno

Cold honey VS warm honey will clearly be different so you record their temps at the time of viscosity measurement.

What the bafoons are saying is that cold honey value is incomparable to warm :banghead

Edit: so do we all finally agree that cold viscosity numbers are directly comparable to same fluid warm viscosity numbers or you still going to play ignorant?

If not look at the charts again.
