I was addressing your claim about this specific case:
"In this specific case, to predict the behavior of an evacuated transport tube, and given that the project doesn't resemble any existing projects, one could hardly do better than have a background in spacecraft booster design."
Seems to me that one could do a lot better than having a background in spacecraft booster design, as the fairly trivial errors pointed out in this article illustrate.
