No, changing shape does nto alter volume.

You are denying fully vetted and accepted reality.

Bad play.

"AI Overview                 

No, pounding meat out does not reduce its
volume. 
Because volume is the measure of the actual space the meat
occupies, flattening it simply displaces the mass into a wider, thinner
shape. 

The meat remains the same weight, density, and volume—it just
covers more surface area."

While that is mostly true, there is no mention of compression.  That 
changes displacement.   Pound a loaf of bread and see if it is the same 
volume.

What do you think "flattening" is?

No it doesn't.

Bread is heavily composed of air.

AI Overview                 

"No, a flattened loaf does not have
the same volume. Because bread is a porous, air-filled structure,
flattening it compresses the gas pockets, which reduces its overall
volume and makes it denser."


Meat is not an "air-filled structure", now is it?

No gas pockets either.

Are you a total idiot, or just playing one here?

  at a macroscopic level, it acts like a compressible sponge because it 
contains pockets of trapped air and distinct structural fibers.


The Sponge Effect: Although the fluid inside cannot be compressed, it is 
stored within a network of protein chains, fat, and connective tissue. 
This matrix contains microscopic air pockets. When you apply pressure 
(like resting a heavy cast-iron skillet on a steak or vacuum-sealing 
it), you compress these air pockets, reshaping the meat and forcing out 
the juices

All retained intact, not liberated of gas or air.

Oddly this simply does NOT happen.

Go argue with AI, dolthead:

AI Overview                 

Pounding meat does not inherently make it
lose its internal moisture. 

In fact, by breaking down tough muscle
fibers and flattening the meat to ensure it cooks evenly, it actually
helps the meat stay much juicier by preventing the edges from
overcooking while the thicker parts finish.

Perplexity AI:


"In practical cooking terms, pounding mainly increases surface area and
evens out thickness, which helps it cook more evenly and faster. That’s
why it’s useful for chicken cutlets, schnitzel, and similar dishes.

So the simple answer is: shape changes a lot, volume changes only a
little, if at all."

Evidently, when the meat hits a very-hot pan, the meat's surface is
seared into an impervious layer, so locking in moisture.

Pounding meat does not inherently make it
lose its internal moisture. 

In fact, by breaking down tough muscle
fibers and flattening the meat to ensure it cooks evenly, it actually
helps the meat stay much juicier by preventing the edges from
overcooking while the thicker parts finish.

Pity about the bit of that overview you carefully
and flagrantly dishonestly deleted which says

The
Real Cause of Moisture LossIn most cases, the moisture you lose (which
can average 15% to 25% of the meat's weight) happens during the cooking
process itself, not from the mallet.

Q; Does pounding meat out change its volume?

AI: "No, pounding meat out does not
change its volume. It only changes its shape."

Key Facts About Pounding
Meat

Constant Density: 
Meat is made mostly of water, which does not
compress easily under physical force.

Geometric Shift: Pounding reduces
the thickness of the meat while increasing its surface area.

Structural
Break: 

The process breaks down tough muscle fibers and connective
tissues to make meat tender."

Perplexity AI:


"In practical cooking terms, pounding mainly increases surface area and
evens out thickness, which helps it cook more evenly and faster. That’s
why it’s useful for chicken cutlets, schnitzel, and similar dishes.

So the simple answer is: shape changes a lot, volume changes only a
little, if at all."

How many times are you going to repeat that?  Change is change, even if 
only a little.
