We had a brilliant chief Mechanical Engineer who would give our lead EE grief about why he was oversizing the motors to drive the ME's compressors. The EE launched into a big description of power factor and how the input power didn't actually mean real work. He got the to part about "imaginary power" and you can guess where it went from there.
