I strongly disagree. How many compromises were made to pull this off. 
You may use the laws of physics and math to design something, but unlike 
physics or math, engineering is not as precise. that means there are 
judgment calls made by design engineers. Physicists make judgemet call 
also, but only in data interpretation and not design. Sorry you couldn't 
be more wrong.

Without science as a base, it's little more than the infinite number of monkeys and typewriters producing Shakespeare. Nearly all practical designs involve some compromises. Great engineering is selecting (sometimes innovating) those solutions which work well for the particular problem at hand.
