I do not believe I overthink things.  When I was in high school, I always had two jobs in the evening to fund motorcycling.  I cannot learn much by rote, everything needs to be in context. In classrooms there were always two conversations in my head, I do not believe much without evidence.  What I did with motorcycles shaped my thinking as a scientist.  So I probably look at things very differently to many people.  Sometimes there is a lot of commonality.  For example - octane rating of fuels is similar to the concept of brisance with gun propellant.  The combustion process is similar. When the rate of rise of pressure divided by the time, is measured - you get an acceleration rate.

It is just a different way of thinking - not especially clever.

I was trained in laboratories by Jews and Nazis. I always loved my jobs. You need a sense of humour - 'some things are so bad that they are good'.
