To determine

The parts of careful physics student's idea that are valid and the parts that are not if she is reading about the concept of temperature and has what she thinks is a bright idea, while reading the text, she discovers that the Celsius temperature scale and the Kelvin temperature scale both have the same increments for equal temperature differences. However, the Fahrenheit scale was described as having larger increments for the same temperature differences, from this information the student determines that Celsius (or Kelvin) thermometers will always be shorter than Fahrenheit thermometers.
