sigh at no point are either of you refuting the danger of myristicin and elemicin in nutmeg household quantities of nutmeg. It's just a bunch of pedantic arguing over grams and volumes, and "oh yeah! I'll show you, here are more foods with these dangerous psychoactives in them!"
Probably some of the most bizarre arguments I've ever seen. If it wasn't for the downvotes I'd think you both were agreeing with me.
Wow, you really addressed all my counterarguments with that one. Doesn't really change your overestimation and doesn't really change the fact that there are no significant numbers of nutmeg deaths and many hard drug deaths.

Specifically to your points, thought you haven't refuted the specific dangers of the two psychoactive components of nutmeg.
"(5 to 15 grams, by the way, not 0.05 to 0.15 grams)"
The smaller figure is the amount of myristicin required to induce death in a grown adult, using your own math.
Most pie recipes I've seen use about 1/4 to 1/2 of a teaspoon of nutmeg powder (I linked to some recipes since you didn't notice).
"There are many household substances that you can take undue amounts of. This does not make them more dangerous than most hard drugs. "
EDIT> ... but it won't matter since their scales will be calibrated. If you use a scale you're measuring weight, not mass.
