When you send a 1lb package, you typically have to box it up, and package it. You have to slap a label on it. If you mail someone a 5lb weight, it’s going to weigh more than 5 lbs because of the box and the packaging, the labels and ink.

Computers need to know where to send the data, and to get relevant data back they need a return address.

The packaging is the 10% of weight you’re missing.
