I would agree but that is not what I inferred from what you said at the beginning of this discussion. I did gain the impression though that you were being deliberately provoking.

Agree 100%. No one says: you should absolutely talk and think in molar
terms, not percentage! (BTW, my perception is: That's what Terry WANTS to
understand from my posts.) All I'm saying since from the start is that: The
practice has its uses and may prove profitable in some instances (such as:
when you buy raw chemicals and mix the solutions yourself, and as you
already said: when you want - or feel the need of - modify the process, for
some reason...), and it isn't that much complicated really... Most
importantly, it doesn't hurt to have some extra information / insight on
what's actually happening.

...

I wouldn't discount the value of using molar solutions esp. for "post
factory processes" (thank you Judy) that I was trying to modify or 
recreate.   But if I were to publish anything about what I found out about
how all those tiny particles co-mingled with each other for the
general photographic community I would use percentage solutions, because
that is the language that most folks are used to.

Hope this makes sense, have a nice day!
