The example was about plastic in your brain.
Now, the volume inside your skull is limited. I had assumed that this was a matter of course. And that’s why I was talking about density.
Same goes for the rest of the body: I always assume that the microplastic is replacing body mass.

Your brain is not rigid though - it can collect fluids and swell a tiny bit. Which essentially increases pressure inside it and if happens too much can be fatal. But that means you can squish a little bit more into without replacing mass - at least for a little while. Bones also regrow constantly, and with genital pressure and a lot of time you can reshape them.
I dont think this is a valid assumption to make. I would see it more as your body working around the microplastics to do what it needs to do as best it can it does not have some limit as to the amount of mass it can use at any one point.

You are free to think so.
But if you say that my logic were flawed because you do not agree with my assumption, then it is rather your logic that is flawed.

Huh? Logic is only valid if the assumptions it is made under are also valid. That is how logic works. You cannot draw a conclusion for something based off a faulty assumption. And while I do not know if your is true or not I don’t see good reason to consider it a good assumption to make and can easily see if being a false assumption here. Which makes your arguments hard to rely on without more proof that your assumptions do hold ground.
