someone explain units to me like I have not read a paper in years
Trying to settle this properly because the thread from last year went in circles.
The claim: units matters. The counter-claim: it is measurement error. Both sides have been asserting it confidently for about 17 months without either producing anything.
What would actually settle it is 21 people measuring the same thing the same way. I have started; my numbers are below. They lean one way but not strongly enough for me to declare victory.
If you have data, post the data. If you have an opinion, flair it as an opinion.

This is correct. 1mL versus 4mL is the common mistake.
Retitled to remove editorialising. Put the evidence in the body.
Yeah, showing the arithmetic is the fastest way for someone to spot the error.
dosing errors come from people reconstituting two vials differently and forgetting which is which

Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
bacteriostatic and sterile water are not interchangeable, do not use them that way
Slight fix: the number was 96.8, not 99.2. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.
the concentration on the vial in marker is the most important step

This is correct. 2mL versus 12mL is the common mistake.
This is correct. 1mL versus 5mL is the common mistake.
dead space is real and the syringe matters
Spent 9 weeks confused about concentration math until someone showed me the table. 30mg, 2mL, concentration is 30/2.
I love that this community will spend 40 comments on a detail. That pedantry is why the numbers here matter.
