Coworker said my ultralight obsession was just a hobby, got me second-guessing my scale

Ran into a guy at a trailhead near Boulder who laughed at my 8.5 lb base weight and said I was overthinking it, he carried a 40 lb pack for 20 years and never once weighed a spoon. I used to love shaving grams, but now I'm wondering if the spreadsheets and titanium forks actually make trips better or just feed my own fussiness. Anyone else hit a point where the gear math stopped being fun and started being the whole point?
