Why not use King Arthur's figure for whole milk?
Because King Arthur lists whole milk at 227 g per cup — the same number its chart gives heavy cream, yogurt, sour cream, water and vegetable oil alike. That is the eight-fluid-ounce ≈ eight-ounce baking shorthand, not a measurement; those six liquids do not all weigh the same. dishscale uses USDA FoodData Central instead, which puts whole milk at 244 g per cup. The tell that the shorthand is a shorthand is that King Arthur does not apply it to honey or maple syrup, and for both of those its figure lands within 0.1% of true density times 236.588 ml.
