Yeah, I've seen it too. I think it's a matter of reading comprehension - mine anyway. Technically, one does use more muscle to move a heavier object, but to pick up said object would require a somewhat less of a pinch. I was interpreting it the second way but it might be meant the first way. I suppose we could figure it out if CD's finger measurement is sensitive enough.
Personally, I'm not that brave. I've been bloodletted and dented enough!
