Gabbars Weight?

[tigerluver]

What Vijay is saying is that scale were imprecise, or the "error value of the weighing scale". The adjustment was not for food intake but rather this imprecision. One needs to remember scientists don't dabble with food adjustments as much as this community does.

I still find it odd scientists would need to subtract canvas weights, as every scale on the market today is easily zero'd.


18 kg of an error value for a scale is bad. The scale's limit might be too high, making it less sensitive to a tiger's mass (usually less than half of the the upper limit). I wonder how many times the specimen was lifted and a weight was taken as well, maybe the scale gave a different reading each time, and that's what Mr. Karoo is saying for error value.

I wonder how the imprecision was estimated as well. Did they weight a much lighter object and use the inaccurate reading as a correction factor? If that was the case, the much heavier object of a tiger may not correspond to the same correction factor. Reply
