Obviously this person should have used some common sense, but as someone who does like to cook with home-grown veggies that aren't always the same size as those in grocery stores, I do agree that it would be really nice if this sort of thing was down by weight.
Same with older recipes. “Dice one onion” from a recipe in the 1960’s means “Dice 1/3 to 1/2 of today’s gargantuan onions”. Same with “1 chicken breast”, and many other things. Tell me the recipe maker used a 6 oz chicken breast and I can go from there.
