>>11088695If you truly believe that I doubt you're a very good engineer. If you can't extrapolate applications from properties of materials then how the fuck do you design anything? With cars it's especially simple because they have extensive documentation, are extremely common, and work on common principles. You sound more like a mat sci nerd than a mech e, which is fine, but you should be explaining that to people instead of defending yourself for not understanding cars. If it's not your area of expertise and you don't want to learn about it, just tell people that.
