Is anyone else having cognitive dissonance with the % of ingredients in so-many-grams of water? Does 1% baking soda and 0.5% salt in 2000 grams of water mean 2

  That's not what cognitive dissonance means.

  That's exactly what it means. It's called baker's percentage[1]. I find it useful for getting repeatable results when scaling a recipe. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baker_percentage http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baker_percentage

  0.5% salt by my calculation is still 2.6 teaspoons (10g) of salt - In 2L of water that does not seem insignificant. When written in terms of percentages it does.
