I was just revisiting the origins of the word “gear” and wondered if you think the way we name parts—bolt, crank, lever—actually influences how we treat or even respect the machines themselves.

Names are cheap. A bolt doesn't care if you call it a fastener or a nut. The respect comes from the way you tighten it, the sweat you put in. Machines don't care what we call them; they care about the work. So keep your tools clean, your hands steady, and the parts will hold.
