It was NOT intended that way. I was intending to say that if needed, I could go more in-depth, but if you're just looking to scratch the surface, that isn't needed, and I gave an example of what would await if someone really wanted to go that far. (I was referring to the ASME shaft-design equation, BTW.)

Apparently, I'm a lousy communicator.
