I realize that. But by not elaborating on why you simply stated
the battery's weight (without even mentioning the camera's weight),

You stated that the weight of the extra batteries would exceed the weight of the
camera, I was simply providing you with a data point (figuring you already knew
the weight of the camera), and I quoted the part of your post I was replying to.
FWIW, the Optio WP weighs 135g with battery and card, 120g without
(http://www.dpreview.com/news/0501/05010501pentax_optiowp.asp). Since the A95
weighs 335g with batteries
(http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/specs/Canon/canon_a95.asp) it looks like one
could carry an Optio and a lot of spare batteries and still weigh less than the
A95 with no spares. It would certainly be easier to buy spare AA batteries if
your hikes took you by convenience stores, though.

and then (as in your most recent reply) only include a non-relevant
quote having nothing to do with weight, you pretty much confirmed my
reason for elaborating on your first reply.

Again, I quoted the part of your post I was replying to. If picture quality
wasn't relevant then why mention it in your post? <g>

Also, the OP stated the A95 was too bulky - eliminating that camera from
consideration, and that they wanted AA batteries - which eliminates the Optio WP
from consideration, so none of this really makes any difference.
