Not that you can’t of course. They may tell you delightedly. It’s just that some people find it disturbing when a person looks up and tells you distractedly that they’re wondering how much pressure you have to put on a circular saw to make it through a thigh bone.

Does it need pressure?
Isn’t the point of a circular saw that it will just chew through horizontally? Think hero strapped to table with saw advancing whilst villain does plot exposition.
Unless you are using a drop saw of course. Then you may apply pressure to get the job done quickly but again, it should just spit bits of bone out of the way and keep gravity feeding its way through the leg.

Yeah, but that’s for the big industrial sized ones. What about if it’s little? Like one you happen to have in your garage? Sure it should go through the flesh, but what happens when it hits the bone? Does it nick it and bounce back? Does it plough right through? Does it need a little weight to help it along? What does it sound like when it goes through the bone? Does it tick up to a higher pitch?

I am sure at least one one of the Saw movies would deal with such matters.
As long as you advise which genre you write, the person would be less disturbed with more gory parts.
PS. I never trust ducks. There is something behind their eyes that is unsettling =P

Strangely enough, “I’m a writer” never seems to completely lay to rest another person’s, “You’re a serial killer” feelings.
