Woah!
Hi Chris,
I understand your point, however the form of your statement seems to
make huge assumptions.

A measurement cannot be wrong. It is just a measurement.
But sure measurements can be "wrong", incorrect, or inaccurate. I guess
you are assuming that the instrument is very well calibrated. But even
then the question is "how accurate".
How you interpret the measurement, what meaning you assign to the
measurement, and how you compare different measurements can be wrong.
And yes, the interpretation of measurements is a very important part of
the science (metrology). One has to understand their instruments and the
conditions of measurement for a good interpretation of the measurement
data. Additionally, there are numerous conditions when the act of
measurement itself changes the data.
To make useful comparisons of the 3 readings, you would have to understand
the issues with the measurement devices (scaling and baseline for each
thermometer) and document the experimental setup in detail (which
thermometer measures which environment).

Sorry to state what to many is obvious, but I just couldn't let that one
pass. Anyway...
