But everyone knows, by experience, what 3300 individual roughly one pound bags of sugar weighs and what sort of force is needed to hold it up. Mid sized car is ambiguous, and nobody saw anybody hold that up (seeing hulk doesn't count)

Is it? Or does it just make it multi dimensional? As in, prompt now need to anticipate there being a monitor and instruct that one too, indirectly.
