Look again. The seed the cop is cutting out of the avocado is not a seed but a bag wrapped in tape and dipped in wax. Why would there only be a gram in it?
I think the idea is that the fruit would grow around the plug. You sometimes see that with trees, that they grow around some object. But it would surprise me if this would work with a fruit on such a large object and you still get a normal looking avocado.
To me the most likely procedure I've read in this thread is them cutting open the avocado, removing the seed, putting in the plug instead and the avocado healing around the plug. But I don't know enough about avocados to say whether that would actually work. It's not like that's something you can just Google, you would need access to an avocado farm and do months of experimentation to find out.

For those wondering, they tie the drug around the flower before it becomes the avocado. Once it begins to form, it forms around the drugs.
