No, actually its right, though perhaps not expressed as neatly as it might
have been.

I said the "displacment and resulting buoyancy" - that is to say, the
positive buoyancy component resulting from the object's displacement. This
will remain the same regardless of the negative component - weight.

My impression was that the original poster had fallen into the trap of
thinking the positive component was the result of air in the canister,
rather than an inescapable result of its displacement, and was hoping there
might be some magic way to eliminate the air without adding to the weight.
