"Power" is just a single word, so it certainly does have to carry several
different shades of usage.

My point is that the competent engineer and the competent physics
professor understand that their different usages are still completely
consistent at a fundamental level.

I don't believe you understand the discipline that that need for
consistency imposes.

Cecil's back at it, I see.
