Not necessarily.

Lots of people have rolled stones down hills, or pushed something down the stairs, etc.

As such, a lot more people have a more intuitive concept of how solid mass interacts with the surrounding environment, but fluids are a different beast entirely so it wouldn't be something a lot of folks would have common experience with.

Think about it this way, if you put a quarter on a small hill and rolled it down the hill, and a large stone disk on a proportionally-larger hill, would the large stone disk roll for longer?

Same for the two cases of the fluids in large/small containers, except with the solids there are no viscous forces to consider.

Soon, procedures like this likely will be illegal to do electively, because the republican government wants to tell women what to do with their bodies (unless it's get a life-saving vaccine for the public good...).

It's the next logical step after they outlaw birth control pills (which is already being worked on).
