Wasn't this in bolden your response to Drich?
Because from the look of it, it seems that "someone" corrected Drich by saying "you need 7 tons of oxygen/nitrogen/argon to obtain one ton of gold" which is equal to say that 1 ton = 7 ton.
Again, if that wasn't you, then I apologize. I assumed it was you from the context (and taking into account how messy the quote function can get).
I *think* that was Drich attempting to correct us. I did mention that it takes 6-7 *molecules* of air to form one atom of gold. But that is correct and is what makes the masses the same.
In any case, no harm, no foul.
I can't believe that you, a PhD mathematician, is discussing high school physics and chemistry.
