I see on one of the url's given under this subject, it lists 1 lb. flour as
4 cups equivalent or measurement.

The only thing I've found bothersome about "weighing" flour when it calls
for a weight measurement of flour in a recipe is that if your called-for
flour weight, because of many factors, turns out to be way less than you
normally would want in order to make your recipe correctly, thus making
your recipe quite short on flour --- and consequently a failure.

Now this would present no problem if you were experienced with your recipe,
but it does present this problem when working with a new recipe.
