Removed the obvious

I removed the mention that the other four natural isotopes are "significantly rarer" than ⁴⁰Ca and ⁴⁴Ca, because it was stating the obvious; since ⁴⁰Ca has abundance ~96.4% and ⁴⁴Ca has abundance ~2.8%. Okay? Solomonfromfinland (talk) 18:48, 14 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

I strongly object to forcing readers to compare numbers in different paragraphs when a simple few-word transisition helps them focus on the comparison. See also parallel construction as a good writing technique. DMacks (talk) 19:44, 14 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
