You can't do that. In engineering you have to apply a certain principal. In a tubular design, you have to give the torsional strength, the compression strength, the tension strength,(etc.). In other words, engineers give you the specifications, and what the metal contains: cobalt, carbon, a certain amount of steel. Engineers always try to give you a descriptive point of view of the characteristics of the metal you are using. Chemists try to give you the structure of chemistry. They try to give you what they know about plants, or what they know about materials. When normal people talk about things, they don't go in to that kind of detail, so it's subject to interpretation. Chemistry, physics, mathematics, engineering, (etc.) is not subject to interpretation. It is subject to methods in testing.
