weight and weighting
Hello, everyone !!
My question is Could I use weights in place of weighting ？or Could I say ..... no preferential weighting of one or another of the items it selects for its consideration in the series.-- to put in the series in the last section.
The study of custom can be profitable only after certain preliminary propositions have been accepted and some of these propositions have been violently opposed, In the first place, any scientific study requires that there be no preferential weighting of one or another of the items in the series it selects for its consideration.
Thanks in advance

No, "weights" would not be acceptable here. "Weighting" is being used as a noun here. In this context, it would mean the practice of giving increased value or importance to a particular item. "Weights," as a noun, would refer to things that you lift.
Also, I think that you were asking about the placement of the phrase "in the series"? Prepositional phrases can sometimes be moved to several locations in a sentence. In this case, however, moving the phrase would change the meaning. "...of the items in the series it selects for its consideration" gives the idea of selecting a series and considering that series. "...of the items it selects for its consideration in the series" gives the idea of selecting which items to include in the series.
Hope this helps!
