Place an engineer and mathematician on one goal line of a football field with a comely cheerleader on the other goal line. If you tell the engineer and mathematician the can go to her but can only go half the distance at a time, the mathematician will walk off the field saying "I can't get there". The engineer will walk toward the cheerleader saying "I can get close enough!"
I first heard that story in EE school in the early '60s as an engineering student and math student at one end of a bar, the lovely young thing at the other, and after each drink could move half the distance between them. The engineering student got close enough for practical purposes.
