weight

lol, but really I’m just spliting hairs.
I remember having a hard time convincing a friend that two objects fall at the same speed regardless of their weight.
As we left the room, my friend Mark was raging. “My God! How can all those people be so stupid?” I tried to be understanding. “Mark, they knew this stuff at one time, but it’s not part of their basic view of the world, so they’ve forgotten it. Most people could probably make the same mistake.”
