    Ah! Might good sir be a fellow Mechanical Engineer?

    (no one else considers stuff that break instead of bend to be “harder”)

        But most people don’t differentiate between hardness and toughness in day to day language

          That’s just because it’s really hard

            Rock is usually harder though, but steel is more tough. Compared to a lot of other materials steel is still really hard, to be fair. At least that’s my understanding, as someone who just googled “hardness vs toughness” lol
