    You're partially correct. The inside of a person is 98 degrees. Hands tend to be cooler - around 90 if I remember correctly, but that varies based on external temperatures. Because of this, sometimes 90 will feel warm and sometimes it will not.

    Your conclusion is correct though - a reliable thermostat is a MUCH better indicator of temperature than the human body.
