Also, for small scales, keeping heavy mixing bowls and weighing using them would damage the spring in the scale.

And you need to do something about the flies in the kitchen.

I mean, for liquids, did you just keep pouring it in after it was full for a few more seconds? I am skeptical of these results much like when they taste tested hot sauces and clearly got Cholula and Tobasco mixed up.

I think that's why many people still prefer using 'cups'. For some people such as myself, using kitchen scales is the easiest method. Messing about with filling a measuring cup the 'right way' i.e. fluff, spoon and level off is more trouble than it's worth, IMO – not to mention all cup filling methods are wildly variable. Unfortunately, so many recipes are published using 'cups' (with no mention of which size/type of cups were used). I've basically given up trying to convert any of them. Even some that supposedly have metric conversions can be inaccurate too – because 'a cup' of flour can weigh anything from 120 to 140-odd grams according to myriad search results on the 'net – and depending what the recipe author actually used is often anybody's guess.

Let’s just weight everything and be done with it.
