This is a continuation of a long topic, addressed by post number rather than by page. Start at post 1.

The most common input error is entering the vial mass in the concentration field. It produces a plausible number, which is why it survives.

That is a description of practice, not a recommendation of it.

j.marchetti, post #2: Nothing a calculator produces is medical advice, and a correct calculation on inappropriate inputs is still an inappropriate answer. Written in the hope of being told what I have missed. Go to post

Answering the question post #119 raises rather than the one it answers.

Tools that run entirely in the browser send nothing anywhere, which matters more to some people here than others and is worth stating either way.

It is one reading of the data and not the only reasonable one.

Building on post #120 rather than restating it.

Where a calculator and your own arithmetic disagree, the productive move is to find which step differs rather than to decide which is right.
