In terms of emotional response, I do feel better about room temperature. Vitrification?

I'm not sure how much this is negative connotations with cold, and how much is that room temperature (or ordinary air temperature) says "storage" to me, and requiring extreme cold says "fragile, unreliable, drastic".

"fragile, unreliable, drastic".

Yeah. Ice shatters.

Well, if nothing else, extreme cold requires someone to maintain it. Atmospheric temperature seems less in need of continual vigilance.
