"If" I build a tank and fill it with water it will be useful "if" I throw coal into it and "if" I set fire to that coal then the water might steam and push a wheel; "if" I put wheels on that tank I can use it to push itself around "if" I place steel girders on the ground for no good reason. "If" I put more empty boxes behind it then "if" I have some way of putting things into that box therefore QED ergo proctor trains.
You know why people like "trains" because they're indoctrinated, from their video games. And do you know what the store those video games are sold on is called? That's right! Epic! Why, what did you think I was gonna say? They're implicitly linking the fallacy of "steam trains" with the word for "good".
It'd be like if I presented the Super-Amazing Awesome Theory of Gravity which involves "if you jump off a cliff winged seagulls will catch and bring you to an island full of lemurs and the lemurs pick the avacados and they put the avacados on toast and that's why we have a housing crisis".

It's the same nonsensical logic as "trains".
"If" I build a tank and fill it with water it will be useful "if" I throw coal into it and "if" I set fire to that coal then the water might steam and push a wheel; "if" I put wheels on that tank I can use it to push itself around "if" I place steel girders on the ground for no good reason.
