What you neglected is that it wasn&#039;t &#039;removed&#039;, it was replaced with a corresponding amount of zinc, which are very close metals, that is why the weight didn&#039;t change as their density are very similar, so there was no difference on the height due to tin being removed and no need to create a die just for it. So there is no &quot;realistic&quot; justification and certainly no scientific reasoning , IMO</p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
