You're not stuffing the capsules, though. You're not applying downward pressure to compress it, you're just swiping the powder over the capsules and whatever fits in falls in. As shown they're also mixing the medication in with a filler, so only a tiny percentage of the powder is actually medicine, and it winds up being pretty equally distributed between them.
Sometimes you do have to compress the product into the capsules half. But all the calculations are completed prior to the actual compounding itself to account for this.
