I'm a mechanical engineer, but what do I know. Just studied that shit for 5 years and worked as one for the past 13.
But then again, I'm from Germany so maybe there is a language barrier between us somehow.
We now know what you mean and you probably also know what the other person meant. All is well.

You're welcome for the lesson on the finer semantic details of your secondary language.
Bonus terminology:
"Appeal to authority": A logical fallacy in which it is claimed that a person's expertise in a field is proof of a claim itself. This is a disputed fallacy, as there are indeed certain instances where it might applicable, such as a mechanical engineer describing the workings of mechanical systems, but is always a fallacy when they attempt to use their expertise in one field as proof in another.

mechanical, adjective
of or relating to manual operations
Did you even read the links before posting them?

Do you believe a ball is a mechanical system?
You can have a manual input to a mechanical system. For example, pulling a lever to operate a machine.
The typical distinction is whether it uses and translates the input through various mechanisms. Moving a shutter with your thumb is not a mechanical shutter.
Flipping a switch or pushing a button to do same thing could be. The manual input is translated to a separate output instead of the person providing the energy directly.
Did I explain this middle school vocabulary lesson to your satisfaction?

Yes, yes, you did. Just as a middle school pupil would :)

You can show them where it is, but you can't make the jackasses drink the water.
Y'all have fun sharpening your mechanical pencils.

Not only are you being a condescending prick, you also cannot be bothered to be right. What a waste of a human life.
