As a design/drafter – I design to ‘look right’ which is probably overkill. Hopefully that headroom helps with the 300lb ape factor.

As one in engineering, I think our work is less about precision and more about solving (challenging) problems with what is needed and nothing more.
Anybody can build a deck that stands up, an engineer can build one that’s just strong enough to stand up (for rated load haha)

Yeah, it’s about applying physics to real world problems to come up with real world solutions.
Often in a more practical form because unlike in Physics, you can’t start off with “assume zero gravity and a spherical cow shape”
