Yes you can get water below 0°C before it starts to freeze if you are very carefull. The botom line is that body temp is clearly not a constant and they have been able to remain water as a liquid below what farhenheit ment to be 0 degrees. At my school using farhenheit is strictly forbidden hehe.

i don't get what you are trying to say. celsius and farenheit are just basically two different scales. here is the formula
T(F) = T(C) x 9/5 + 32. just a simple formula like that leaves me to believe there is no inherent difference in accuracy, except for the size of the units.
if anything Farenheit is more accurate than celsius because the units are smaller. unless i am reading your post wrong, everything you just said that was wrong with F can be applied to C scale as well?
