    Certainly, the water in milk is already “milk”, as it is a part of the larger whole?

      So how much can you dilute milk before it becomes no longer milk?

      Is all water already milk?

        Fortunately, we know that if you cut milk with an equal amount of cream, it becomes half and half, so you probably can’t dilute milk more than 50% without having to call it something else.

          Logically if diluting with cream makes it “Half and half” (decreasing it) then diluting it with water would increase it to either “whole and whole”, making it 2x milk or even more, “half again and half again” or 3x milk.
