The reason this doesn't work is because the "more" amd "less" competitors work on different things entirely. These are not mathematically correct statements in any way.

The amount of cheese is the same
The holes just inflate it
Just like when you blow air into a balloon.
Why so vaguely threatening? I just want to talk. Five minutes alone.
Checkmate Wisconsinites
More Holes = Less Density
More Cheese != More Holes Per Volume
As the prophet Les McCann said, "Compared to what?"
There is a cheese where the production got so good that they had no holes anymore so they added something to the cheese to get the "typical" holes back XD
But sadly forgot which cheese it was exactlf
replies:
More holes = less cheese is the error.

This is why I don’t trust math. It steals cheese.
Less cheese = fewer holes Fewer holes = more cheese Less cheese = more cheese
less cheese = more cheese = less cheese = more cheese → ∞: infinite cheese glitch

Looks, there has gotta be a divide by zero in there somewhere, but I can't find it.
But if I divide by less, Cheese = more/less cheese Which seems legit

Im bored and tired, so im going to write my reasoning out as I attempt to fall asleep.
More cheese = more holes
More cheese (volune) = more holes (volume)
More holes (percentage) = less cheese (percentage)
This cheese is refering yo the material, where the first is referring to the object. Different variables entirely. The first is a group that explicitly includes holes, while the latter explicitly doesn't.
More cheese (volume) = less cheese (percentage)
Idk man im tired.

There's these "ontological arguments", which are basically folks trying to prove the existence of a god by reasoning with pure logic, so without relying on evidence. And they all sound like that. 🫠
One of the classics goes roughly like this:
- There is good and bad. (Which is one hell of an axiom.)
- A creature can exist which unifies all good properties. (Yet another hell of an axiom.)
- Because this creature has all these good properties, it would be even gooder, if it did exist.
- Since this creature unifies all good properties and its existence is itself a good property, it therefore must exist.
These arguments are also always funny, because the same logic can be used to "prove" all kinds of things. For example, a perfect island can exist, therefore it must exist. 🙃
As far as I can tell, the arguments don't actually get better over time either, but rather just more convoluted, to make it less obvious how silly they are...

Shrinkflation
This is a denominator numerator trick.
Dude is tapping into Cantor's infinite empty set and doesn't know it!
No cat has 5 legs, but a cat has 4 legs more than no cat, so a cat has 9 legs
Not surprising coming from a cat, not its field of expertise. Ask a mouse and it will explain you the difference between intensive and extensive properties of the cheese.
yes cat, cheese with holes is less cheese than cheese without holes of the same dimensions ( you know what i mean lemmy)
