  • Genuine question: what is the point of logarithmic scales? Why can’t we have a linear scale of 3 to 30 instead of 3 to 4? A linear scale works perfectly fine in most cases (for example the Scoville scale which goes from something like 3 for a green pepper to 20 million for a reaper), so why can’t pH do the same?
