And guess what, here's an MIT engineer Jeff King saying the exact opposite:

By the way, I just re-read and felt the need to comment on this. Jeff King is not an "MIT engineer". He's a family physician that graduated from MIT 35+ years ago. Thomas Eagar graduated with an S.B. and a Sc.D from MIT. He's served as a professor and department head at MIT for decades. He's worked on the National Research Council and done research for the US Congress and US Department of Energy. He's taught a dozen graduate and professional level engineering courses. He's one of the most accomplished engineers in the world.

It's not point and counterpoint. It's like quoting J. Scott Armstrong (from Wharton) on a business proposal, then countering by quoting a guy that graduated from Wharton in the '70s and has been working as a police officer ever since.
