Larger breasts have more mass. His point was that just like how mass is irrelevant to the value of money, it is also irrelevant to the value of breasts.
This is where reading comprehension comes into play. You have to be able to interpret what someone is saying, even if they don't phrase it in exactly the way that would make it easiest for you personally to understand. If you can't parse what they meant, that is indicative of poor reading comprehension on your part. It never says nor implies that the man having $60 matters. You're adding that to the story, and then complaining that the story doesn't address it.
The way it's written is meant to lead you to the understanding that while size (and mass, which is inexorably linked to size of living tissue) can vary, breasts are still breasts, regardless of size, just as $30 is still $30 regardless of denomination. It is a trick question, and being able to recognize trick questions is an important factor in reading comprehension.
Yes, but that detail is not necessary to the story, so it is bad writing to introduce it.
In other words, if the writing is bad. Thank you for agreeing with the point I was making: the writing is bad.
Holy shit, no. How do you read what I said, repeat what I said, and then act like I said something entirely else? Are you fucking with me? Please for the love of God go back to grade school and try to work up to an 8th grade reading level before you make any more comments
Ok, I thought you said "even if they don't phrase it in ... the way that would make it easiest ... to understand".
So, bad writing.
Not understanding the importance of that "you personally" betrays your deficient reading comprehension
Maybe you're just a bad writer.
