ELI5:Why is an amount of dried herb said to be stronger than the same amount of fresh herb?Don't they come with the same amount of chemicals that give the herb its unique flavor?

When you take out the water, you have the same amount of stuff that is unique to the herb, but less water.  So the amount of unique stuff is a higher total percentage of the remaining stuff, making it more potent.

Imagine you mixed a gatorade with water 50/50.  That dilutes the Gatorade taste.  Imagine you take that water back out.  It now tastes more gatorade-y.  Because it's a higher percent Gatorade compared to total mass.
