<<On the topic of digital scales, I have had great success with the
Ultrascle MBSC-55 Digital Scale for a reserach study I am doing. >>

I may be misinformed, but when I research this scale online, its
specifications seem to be that the accuracy is to 2 grams only up to a
weight of 2 pounds; after that its accuracy appears to be 0.5oz.

As an example, it says so on Amazon under product features:

A

Is this incorrect or am I looking at the wrong scale? If it really is
only precise to 2 grams for weights up to 2 pounds then it isn't
sufficiently precise for typical LC use, IMO.....
