The psychology of cooling

Certain people (you know who you are) have a weird approach to heating and cooling their homes.

On a cold day, they'll heat the room to, let's say, 21 degrees; then on a hot day, they'll cool the room to 16 degrees.

I don't get it.

Have you taken into account body temperature. Surely that explains this discrepancy?

It happens at our office. I suspect people think that setting it at more extreme temperatures will cause it to reach to the "desired" temperature faster.
