I do dispute the assertion that the relative readings are each ±10C though. Absolute temperatures, for sure, but not relative.
I think he ment he would give you $120 for one of your blocks if his didn't work the way he thought it should.

I agree about relativity, but it does the guy with a 55C temp reading no good if his temps are really 45C. He might buy your block and the temps drop to 52C and he is pissed because he just dropped $120 for a 3C gain and his temps are still way higher than he thinks they should be all because of a 10C off temp probe. He could have just got a decent thermocoupler for $30 and saved $90. Relativity is only usefull for the one's that understand it. Of course maybe we are not worried about them here.
