153. You're right it was a lousy analogy

So let me ask you a question. I have a 1" carbon steel pipe in my garage. There is an aluminum lamp post on the corner of my street. According to you "Steel will always sheer through the wings..no matter what the speed"

So according to you if I struck the pole (0 velocity) with my pipe (~10 to 15 MPH) I should be able to sheer right through it no problem.
