F and C are laterally the same just offset by 32 and scaled by 5/9.

Ehh, they were developed in different ways using completely different reference points

C and K use different reference points too, yet you called them laterally the same.

They have a lot more in common than Celsius and Fahrenheit, which are only related because they are both measures of temperature.

That depends how you count “a lot more in common”. The reference points for zero is much closer for C and F. People commonly use in everyday life C and F, but not K. Should I continue?

Ah yes just rolls off the tongue. Totally the same as, an increment of one is equal in both.
