That's why I'm not an Engineer. In my minds eye, it would take more pressure to lift a column of water 12mm in diameter 79cm than say it would to lift a column of water 1cm in diameter 79cm, simply because the first amount of water weighs more. In my minds eye, describing both of those as having the same pressure (.79m of H2O) gives my mind a hinky. That's why I'm not an Engineer...
