“Hard science and math degrees only mean you can manipulate numbers.”
Utterly wrong. Engineering is about manipulating numbers - to solve problems. Hard science is about manipulating numbers - to answer questions about reality. When you denigrate those as “only ... manipulating numbers,” that shows you don’t really understand engineering, and further that what you think is engineering isn’t.
PS I’m talking real science and engineering, not the politicized garbage we see all the time in the media such as global warming etc.
I’m a data center engineer, FRiend. You’re talking to an engineer. Numbers and the manipulation thereof are a day-to-day task for me, and yes, they go to solve problems.
So you’ve effectively invalidated your argument that I’m utterly wrong by stating that manipulating numbers (to solve problems) is what engineering is about. What I stated, prima facie, is not untrue. You just added the prepositional phrase “to solve problems” to my argument.
Thank you!
