Only because Mastercook has preset "weights" for those particular
ingredients. As you, yourself, point out, "it does make a
difference", as made obvious by the fact 3 tsp of flour is not the
same as 3 tsp of sugar. Even then, MCs presets are only
guestimations, as the weight of flour is not the same for different
grinds/types of flour or moisture content, this last variable
constantly changing with current ambient temp and humidity.

I'll step aside while you argue with yourself.
