Same Error?
Depends is the error in your scales linear or not? Shifting the zero point by say 10g makes a bigger error in weighing 100g than 1000g and will screw up your bread :-)

Now what happens if the spring in your scales (old school) or the magic electrical pixies (modern) is not providing a linear response across its whole weighing range?

Would sir be interested in some calibration weights? (Apologies for pedantry)
