It makes more sense if you use it as intended. It’s designed to be a simple way for farmers/gardeners to classify the basic soil composition by particle size.
Take a cup of dirt, put it in a mason jar, fill it full of water, put a lid on tight and shake the hell out of it. Come back in 3-4 days and measure the layers.
This comes in helpful in applying pesticides and basic water management. It’s pretty much pointless for anything else.

I’m going to try this with some dirt and see if I can identify what the dirt is made of that easily or not.
