    You sound like an angry oldman not wanting to accept reality.

    So you want companies to put excess product because you don’t know how to measure correctly (or don’t have good equipment). Well ask them. For the price of 410g, too? No? And maybe a paycheck supplement too.

    I want a lot of things too.

    The point is that it isn’t false advertising if you don’t know how to measure well. Is not a standar or whatever you think it is. It’s reality.

    Outside the kindergarten where everything seems so simple and easy to understand. In real life you don’t have ideal things. You don’t have an ideal measuring place.

    Sources of error when measuring:

    • The material cut tolerance.
    • Your house not being perfectly smooth leveled.
    • (for electronic scales) RF noise.
    • (for electronic scales) Tolerance on electronic components.
    • The scale subjection points not perfectly pressed.
    • (for electronic scales) discretization error.
    • Components degradation.
    • Humidity.
    • Gas denisty near the scale.
    • Gravity fluctuations in the region of measurement.
    • Surface of the sample not resting completly in the scale plate. Etc.

    And you are ranting about evil and “our” standards or whatever for a 2% error in the measurement? I would expect a 5% error given all that. That scale must be an exceptional good one.

    It’s not standards it’s reality. Why do you think measuring labs are so expensive? Evil companies?

    Try measuring your height more than once and see if results change. Hey if they change, you work for the evil companies, and you probably live in our “standards zone”.

    Our/Yours standards was pure comedy. It’s getting better and better.
