Well...

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.

Yellow speaks at the press conference

"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.

"I saw a man on a flaming pie and he said you shall weigh your M&Ms."




Well that's all I have to say about that!
