Actually, I'm probably just showing why I'm more of a theorist than an
experimental scientist: I don't have to be bound by such mundane
considerations as whether an experimental procedure I think up could really

who still has one of the old scales with springs and a dial.
(No more often than it's used, why spend money on a fancier one?)
