Richard J Kink sez:

"...No, you said, "Torque is the capacity of an engine to do work", which is
just wrong..."

Uh huh. And would you care to comment on exactly how that statement is
wrong? Torque is a turning moment that defines the force applied to a shaft
in order to do work. Without torque the shaft cannot turn, work cannot be
done.
