You have x amount of stuff, and it't too salty. Or spicy. Or whatever.
You add a potato to it. Now you have x plus one potato of stuff. Seems
like having more stuff with only the original amount of salt or spice or
whatever would give you a less salty or spicy taste. Or else the concept
of dilution is not reality based.
