Somehow your comment reminds me of a pissing match I saw between a young aerospace engineer and an old retired one. The old guy was right in his argument that it doesn't matter what the constraints on materials and dimensions are, it that they come from somewhere and are documented.

His example was designing brackets for a Indonesian construction company that was using locally sourced tropical softwoods for constructing buildings. The brackets were designed to be made with 'steel' and the tolerances were compatible with a hungover guy running a drill press.
