[Elecraft] K3 on motorboat.

[Phil Hystad]

The problem with this argument is the dichotomy of choice.  The contrast between art and science was introduced into philosophical discussion several hundred years ago.

Today, the discussion might better be divided into three categories:  Art, Engineering, Science with the recognition that many things real or imagined may include parts from all.

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.

Engineering is the thoughtful application of scientific principles and knowledge to solve practical problems. 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.
