Comment on Scientists Made Glue So Strong, It Can Tow An Entire Car

None of these metrics actually measure anything comparatively. They say things like it “tows a car” and “lifts 270lbs”, but under what circumstances? Surface area? Temperature? Sheer force?

There’s also no comparison against other adhesives to know how these values compare.

I don’t doubt it’s an impressive accomplishment. I just wish I could get an idea for how impressed I should be.
