[QUOTE="Deleted member 3000, post: 120651"] I think the English vernacular has entered here. It is a "rule of thumb," which has been shortened to "rule" in this thread. A rule of thumb is just a general guideline, far less binding than an actual rule. Personally, I think a healthy male can carry 9kg comfortably (before food and water), a healthy female a bit less. I have met hundreds of pilgrims who have kept it down to 6kg. That requires starting with a pack that is very light when empty, and having a lot of ultralite items, such as a very small towel.
