I am not interesting in getting a perfect vacuum. I am asking why a stronger pump is required to reduce the pressure in a larger container
You should be, considering it's related to some of the questions you've asked.
Evidently my wording is causing 'you' and sceptimatic huge problems and we are just going around in circles, where you are pretending you cannot understand what i am asking you, or what I am asking is not relevant, or you need more contextual information to answer, and if you avoid dealing with what I am asking you to consider while playing silly word games with me as you are trying to do, we will be here for thousands of pages.
I'm not playing word games. Only tiny parts of your post even mentioned comparative sizes, and you gave no indication everything you said was meant to be related to that issue. if two separate people misunderstand you, why do you automatically assume the problem has to be with them?
In answer though, the first thing I'd say is to focus of the meat of the model, rather than the phrasing. I'll admit, to be honest, I think denpressure is a bit of a misnomer as it's related more to energy and volume-displacement than the surface-area based kind of pressure most people think of.
Anyway, focus on what's already established:
At a moment in time, you have a pump containing a low pressure, and a chamber containing a higher pressure. In that instant, like in every instant, all molecules in the chamber are trying to expand. This pushes the outer layer of molecules into the pump.
It's common sense, though, that this movement will be muted the further away from the pump you get. Keep the pump's size fixed, make the chamber grow, the pump will only have a significant effect on a fixed area of the chamber, and the larger the chamber gets, the less significant this area will be.
Thinking in terms of energy, the pump will have to be left going a lot longer, so more of the potential energy in the molecules would have to be released, and more would have to be forced through the exhaust (and that I expect is the tricky part: forcing molecules to compress themselves and go back out into the pressure outside). A weaker pump would have a much harder time to do the last step, as it'd contain a lower pressure. You'd need a pump strong enough to do that consistently, and for quite an amount of time in the case of a larger chamber. A weaker pump might fail to properly expel the exhaust, and the cumulative effect of that would be greater if the pump has to go as long as it does in a large chamber. (Indeed, I think Scepti might say all the exhaust is never expelled; there'll always be a few molecules extra).
That seems to be what he's saying. He did refer to dealing with the evacuated molecules being pushed back inside.
