No, I do mean more steps, because homeopathy dilutes a smaller volume of target material, they actually would perform fewer steps than dilution via halving.

Homeopathy often dilutes by taking far less than half of a solution and diluting it in a large amount of fresh solvent. One process repeatability empties the entire container and refills it with solvent.

If you were diluting something by replacing only half with solvent, you'd have to do many more steps to get as pure solvent as homeopathy produces.

Homeopathy is a tremendously wasteful way of washing a container. It's hugely wasteful, and being a homeopathic environmentalist is oxymoronic.

That’s exactly what I mean.

The soda dilution by halves would have far more dilution steps to reach pure water than homeopathy.

Ah. I read you backwards, by bad.

All that matters is we got there in the end :)
