Engineers demand precision while physicists live in a fantasy world where cows are perfect spheres. The eternal rivalry between those who build bridges that don't collapse and those who simplify the universe until it fits on a napkin. Nothing says "theoretical physics" quite like assuming away all the inconvenient parts of reality that make actual calculations impossible. "Assume spherical rectangle" is peak physics humor - contradictory, impossible, and somehow still publishable in a peer-reviewed journal.
