Osmotolerant yeast weight/volume!

I'm literally in the middle of making pandoro according to Susan Tenney's Wild Yeast blog. It calls for "0.8 g (1/4 t.)" of yeast.

Is 0.8 gram of yeast really only 1/4 teaspoon?—because my scale says that 1/4 teaspoon is less than half a gram.

Either my new scale has a problem, or the recipe has an error and I need to add much more yeast right away. Any guidance appreciated!

P.S. I bought an Myweigh i2500, accurate to 0.5 gram. Now I wish I'd bought one that does 0.1 gram increments.
