We could track all of the activity when I looked at the control and when I looked at my ex, and it was in comparing these data sets that we'd be able to find the love alone, in the same way that, if I were to step on a scale fully dressed and then step on it again naked, the difference between those numbers would be the weight of my clothing.
sia quando guardavo il "controllo", sia quando guardavo il mio ex e, tramite questa comparazione, isolare l'amore, un po' come quando salite su una bilancia prima coi vestiti e poi senza; la differenza tra i due numeri sarebbe pari al peso dei vestiti.
