Yeah, I realize he breath weight thing is a bit iffy. I didn't do the math myself. So I'll discard that to be fair. You are right about the weight thing though. The average US male weighs 88.6 kilos, so that's 88,600 grams. Take that, and divide the weight lost in this claim (20g), so 20/88,600=0.000225 (I rounded off); then multiply that by 100, so 0.000225*100=0.0225. Meaning that the shift detected is 225/10,000 of a percent shift. That's so small, that I doubt it was anything more than margin of error on his part.
When the big pump fails, there is immediate settling of much fluid. I would not be surprised if the weight change was underlain by a change in weight distribution, with a systematic error being introduced at the weight sensor by that shift. At point two per cent of value, that's plausible. cn
