Stupid recipe

I think it's more that they view it as a drop in replacement. The way you might sub margarine for butter. Or sucralose for sugar. So they say "I followed it exactly" meaning the measurements were right. I don't think they're lying to themselves.

Though the irony is not lost on me. It is very funny to see someone say "I changed something and followed the recipe exactly."
