    In the article they show several examples of products being lighter than they are labeled as. But, and this is my physicist pedantry showing, several images show a difference of 1 g or so. By using these images, the investigation is doing a disservice to its findings since, often times anyway, scales are only reliable to plus or minus 1 gram. This means specifically that in such cases there is no discernible difference between the labelled and measured weight.

    In short, when reading studies, articles, news, internet posts, or crafting your own propaganda pieces, make sure you understand the information/data/apparatus they/you are using, so that you can avoid being duped, and so you can craft the most influential propaganda possible.
