All I will say at this point is that there is more to what makes a component suitable for a specific purpose other than if it's forged or MIM manufactured.
Being either a machinist or a tool and die maker does not make you an irrefutable expert on the subject.

You obviously don't have a clue about what goes on in a machine shop.
When someone comes in with a old tractor part or woodworking tool part, shaft or something else. You need to be able know what steel to use and what tolerances would be acceptable in the given application. Or whether it needs hard chrome plating or what surface finish the part needs ect. You don't need a degree to figure this out and a simple google search would confirm what I am talking about.
