This just doesn't make sense.

You wouldn't say the same when talking about other products. If you buy ibuprofen for example you wouldn't say "it can't be packaged to scientific standards, it has to be packaged to ours" if you try to weigh a single pill with your kitchen scale.

Stuff HAS to be packaged to scientific standards. Period.

If your tools at home aren't accurate enough or simply aren't properly calibrated for a specific job, it can't be the fault of the producer.

If you use a 2€ kitchen scale that is 10 years old you can't blame the producer if your measurement is off by 10%.

The producer cannot make sure YOUR equipment is proper for the task, and they can't make sure EVERYONES scales see the exact same. So of course they have to weigh with their own scales and surprise surprise they use extremely precise scales that are properly calibrated and tested regularly.

If you read his comments to my comments he states that following "their" (?) standards, the producers have to put much more product in order to """"adjust"""" for the tolerance error of random consumers. Clueless.
