Since the late 1950s, aerospace engineers have used the term " unobtainium " when referring to unusual or costly materials, or when theoretically considering a material perfect for their needs in all respects, except that it does not exist.

Since each cylinder bank is essentially a straight-6, this configuration has perfect primary and secondary balance no matter which V angle is used and therefore needs no balance shafts.

: Since Hex is a finite, perfect information game that cannot end in a tie, either the first or second player must possess a winning strategy.

Since the ground is not a perfect electrical conductor, ground waves are attenuated as they follow the earth ’ s surface.

Since " Life " wanted a perfect Saturday night, and one they considered typical, the photographer did not select a town still blighted by the Depression ... What " Life's "' readers wanted, it seemed, was a stereotyped village that confirmed their nostalgic beliefs about small towns in which no one is bored, poor, or lonely ; and the magazine's photographers and editors-like Norman Rockwell in his " Saturday Evening Post " covers-gave them exactly that kind of town.

Since this means that the manuscript copies are not perfect, inerrancy is only applied to the original autographs ( the manuscripts written by the original authors ) rather than the copies.

Since all is in flux, to get the most from life we must learn to discriminate through " sharp and eager observation ": for " every moment some form grows perfect in hand or face ; some tone on the hills or the sea is choicer than the rest ; some mood of passion or insight or intellectual excitement is irresistibly real and attractive for us, – for that moment only ".
