I agree that weighing flour is more accurate than measuring. However, I've found that if it's a very humid day, the flour is going to absorb moisture from the air and will be heavier. So 6 oz. of flour on a humid day is not going to be the same amount of flour as 6 oz. of flour on a very dry day. It can definitely affect my pastry dough.
