Or the difference between an engineer and mathematician ...
Place an engineer and mathematician on one goal line of a football
field with a comely cheerleader on the other goal line. If you tell
the engineer and mathematician the can go to her but can only go half
the distance at a time, the mathematician will walk off the field
saying "I can't get there". The engineer will walk toward the
cheerleader saying "I can get close enough!"

THAT'S what good engineering is all about! It's not about esoteric
details of theoretical concepts, but rather applying fundamentals to
our own individual problems and resources.
