The count weights correct the loss of frequencies for a deliberately coarsened binary response, but do not supply a third outcome category. Thus \b[this remains inappropriate for the full <contingency table>]. With the base R factor convention, it could fit the chosen first damage level versus the other two combined, using a <logistic regression> and the frequencies as weights. That is a different scientific question. The supplied <log-linear model> retains all three categories and their counts without this information loss.
