Fair point but the other side of the coin is that quoting a “best temperature” range for crops is somewhat arbitrary and potentially misleading.
The 10C you give for tomatoes is, I think, too high. After planting out in May, mine are often subjected to 3-8C during the first 1-4 weeks in an unheated tunnel, depending on each spring’s weather. They thrive.
Also the temporary halt above say 35C is only temporary, though it shows how worthwhile it is to ventilate in hot weather. So you are doing good research but I suggest using it as guide only.
Aubergine and pepper are indeed more warmth dependent.
