It's very simple,I wrote that dippers are powder specific,different powders have different Vol.to Weight ratios for instance .5cc may weigh as much as 7.8gr or
4.2gr so when you modify the dipper in any way you have no way to accurately
tell what you have done unless you weigh the load after the fact,guess work.
Hence the scale,my point:use dippers as they are intended to be used or use a scale for common sense operation.Come to think of it there's a third option:whatever.
