Which weighs more a pound of feathers or a pound of lead?

Neither of those items weighs more. We know that, because you have told us theweight of each item, and we have completed a comparative calculation. One of themweighs one pound and the other weighs one pound likewise as well. One pound isequal to one pound. So the weight of one is equal to the weight of the other, andneither of them weighs more than the other, according to the rigorous axiom that"If equals are equal to equals, then they are equal to each other". By the virtue ofsymmetrical reasoning, we are also fully and mathematically entitled to state thatneither of them weighs less than the other one either, as well, also, too.
