What? It is exactly representative. The values are correct and comprehensible. The fact that the numeric orders of magnitude of the units involved don't progress uniformly is irrelevant. The point is that they are all values that are relatable within normal human experience.

1 kilogram, 22 Titanics, and 22000 Titanics doesn't help at all. There is no number of Titanics that is is a human relatable quantity.
