If you would study engineering a little, you would find that distorting the correct language destroys meaning. Try designing reinforced concrete structures without a firm grasp of the concepts of tension and compression. Also, there's little room for arrogance in engineering. Maybe that's why Jobst was relegated to over-analyzing what most of the industry considers a child's toy.
