    Way back there was a statement that

    "Swimming a 3000 meter workout requires a lot more energy for a 120 kilo
    person than for a 90 kilo person."

    A response was that:

    "There is no way such a simplistic evaluation can be justified"

    However, if you hold all other variables constant, it takes more energy
    to move 120kg than 90kg

    Didn't we already do this one to death?

    And if you add a [censored] assumption like "hold all other variables constant,"
    it does simplify the question nicely.
