Engineers live in a world of practical approximations—"close enough" gets the job done! Meanwhile, mathematicians are having an existential crisis if you dare suggest that a spherical cow in a vacuum isn't pure blasphemy. The title "Assume Silver Is An Ideal Gas" perfectly captures this divide—it's the kind of simplification that would make an engineer nod while causing a mathematician to scream like that cartoon rat. Pure math demands ABSOLUTE TRUTH, while engineering just needs something that won't collapse or explode... usually.
