This real example show that for "cold", the temperature could be 0.1 K, 1.8 K, 573 K. The definition of "cold" is "cultural".

I really don't think temperature is a great analogy here. If you're talking about Kelvin rather the C/F you're unlikely to be talking about the weather! 1K being 'hot', being within a degree of absolute zero, would indeed only be considered hot in some very specific (and scientific) contexts.
Can you go back to my original list of concerns in the original post? I don't think this is a complex topic, and we can just talk about the actual thing without needing to refer to abstract scenarios.
As a software engineer responsible for plenty of bugs myself, I'm not expecting things to be perfect.
