Welll... no. Doubling the cheese would turn my Roman noodles into Roman
glob, make my white pies fall to pieces, and possibly turn a cheese
souffle into a small, windowless building.
And, when shopping for a feast, there might not be a heck of lot of room
to move in the budget, so you really need to know accurately enough not
to waste money on overpurchasing.
