It is the direct cause of the see saw placing you flat on your ass. Many things exist in a delicate state of equilibrium. Unbalancing forces become quickly evident. So within that system a minute change is sometimes more easily observed than that same force outside of that system.
Why do you think the first scales were
"balance scales"?....

The most ancient relics of a weighing scale have been discovered in the Indus River valley, near present day's Pakistan, and date back to around 2,000 B.C. Those first weighing scales were actually balances, using two plates attached to an overhead beam, itself fixed on a central pole.

That allows a sensitive detection of very small weights, comparing new weights to old.
Still waiting for...
1)- Your explanation of how evolution violates the fallacy of composition.
2)-For you gents to tell me what "principle of proportionate causation" is
...and how evolution violates that?
3)-For you to tell me how in Ben Franklyn's classic tale of "for want of a nail"
....how a small horseshoe nail is greater than a kingdom.
