- tremon 3y agoSo your convincing evidence for the claim that "plenty of poorly designed steel bridges from the 19th century have collapsed" is a single example of a bridge that collapsed because it was designed "less extensive and robust than [..] previous similar designs"? Or is your claim a mere circular argument, since we can deduce that a steel bridge was poorly designed if it has since collapsed?
