We knew steel really well − not surprising given that we had created it. We were able to predict what would result from changes in chemistry; heat treatment protocols; hot and cold processes of manipulation. It was an “if-this-then-that” kind of world; one of predictive models and of comprehensible cause and effect relationships.
