I must confess that I am impressed with your justification of your ludicrously erroneous method. However, there is no explanation that can warrant the use of such a flawed procedure. An M&M is neither microscopic nor a pure substance; it behaves and tastes nothing like an atom. They are a very heterogenous candy. Production irregularities make many aberrant candies, and they can not be simply quantified as "1 M&M." I would like to inform you of the press conference held by Yellow this afternoon.
"Excuse me.... on the behalf of myself and all of my fellow M&Ms, I would like to make the following statement. It has recently come to our attention that some individuals, even including Mr. Siddiqui and the traitorous Rebecca White, have asserted that all M&Ms are all the same. [shocked gasps from the audience] This is an outrageous claim. We M&Ms come in all shapes and sizes. It is not safe to assume that our size is equal and, therefore, we must be weighed to be accurately measured. I look forward to a brighter day, one where all M&Ms can join hands and sing... but this cannot happen as long as people have the racist beliefs and the audacity to claim that we are all the same. Thank you."
I would say that an M&M is more like a sample that must be weighed before having any quantifyable meaning. The situation of isotopes is not analagous; isotopes occur in a set percent abundance, whereas M&Ms vary from bag to bag. This is why M&Ms must unquestionably be weighed.
