So, Moromism is the fast food of religion?
At that point, I wouldn't waste them in the laser blasters....
To be precise, Mor(m)onism is the Chuck E. Cheese of religion replete with artificial cheese...
...and you have to eat it in the temple with hidden cameras recording your every move.
You are right, that I've never seen amp capacity on alkalines, or carbons. However, the information is in the tech specs section of the battery web sites.
"that would be as absurd as...." implies contradiction. Or, that one is NOT the same as the other.
Is it tough being a genius? No member of any faith does.

They are happy to tell you, but the capacity isn't a single number. If they put one on the package some misfit activist could sue them, as happened with small engine horsepower ratings.

True. Just a smart-assed comment on my part, there would have to be assumed conditions which might not apply to your intended use, but might be useful for rough comparisons. The typical consumer would not be able to comprehend a graph.
Why would anyone use a propane lantern for anything other than the ease of storage?
Liquid fuel lanterns are the way to go.
"Upon Roosevelt's death in 1945, H. L. Mencken predicted in his diary that Roosevelt would be remembered as a great president, "maybe even alongside Washington and Lincoln," opining that Roosevelt "had every quality that morons esteem in their heroes.""
Yeah, it's tough when you have to use a slide rule to describe your IQ.
Please be more careful with your quoting. I've got the charts for alkaline battery capacities, I don't check packages.
Well, I don't know. I use propane lanterns for light, when it's cold. Light and heat. For ease of storage, there are shelves, and racks, bins, etc. Rubbermaid totes.
How often do you have to pump up a liquid lantern? Propanes run until the tank gets cold, or empty. I do own two liquid fuel lanterns, but have almost never used them. Once, to see if it lit. I've used propane lanterns two or three times.
The Amoco "white gas" was a premium high-octane fuel that did not contain tetraethyl lead and therefore did not have to be dyed. There was also a "white gas" which was a low-cost, low-octane unleaded fuel intended for stoves, lanterns, tractors, etc..

Wonder how
They put out a LOT of heat, particulary the 2 mantle lanterns. I made up a tripod thingy, kinda looked like a lab alky burner stand, and would run a lantern under neighth it, with the top cover of the lantern off, and I could heat soup and cook on it .

In one of the lantern collectors groups I used to follow one of the guys reported that the generator on his Coleman lantern unexpectedly split, suddenly created a flaming fireball. He was able to grab the lantern's bail and throw it off the porch saving his house. Liquid fuel lanterns have hazardous problems occasionally too, and if you don't know the secret to lighting them, every startup has the potential to be "exciting". Like you though, I prefer liquid fueled lanterns, both Coleman fueled and kerosene (Petromax).

Wonder how
The Petromax (pressurized kerosene burning lanterns) lanterns have a cooking attachment you can put on the top in place of the chimney / shade. I can't say that the lanterns themselves throw off a lot of heat as lanterns, but in the early days of my learning to get one lighted I did manage to MELT the glass globe on the side opposite to where the rapid starter ( much like a kerosene blowtorch) is aimed.

Not really, and you should know that. It lets you hide the decimal points, but we can still tell.

Hard to do when you top post AND set your sig file to cut off everything that anyone has written before you (but it appears below you).
There is a reason for netiquette. You ignore it, so don't get upset when your posts go astray.
