I too disagree with calling a tub a monocoque. A monocoque is a stressed-skin chassis design...incorporates the skin into the structure. Much like every modern aircraft. A uni-body car more closely fits the definition of a monocoque chassis than a flat-panel frame does.
If a company offered a prosthetic device that had been designed by a doctor...would you say it was great? Especially considering the doc is an ear/nose/throat specialist...and has absolutely no experience as a materials engineer, an ergonomics expert, a kinematics expert or in physiology? I offer that it might be great...or it might be the marketing hype frosting on a dog-turd cake.
As said before, an F1 team consists of many individuals. An F1 engineer doesn't make him specifically a chassis man. So the engineer whose specialty is telemetry integration, is NOT the individual I want designing a chassis.
If one were to brag about the fact of having a product engineered by a professional from a certain field to lend credence to its lineage...why not go one better and also use said individual's name, not merely their professional title? Then I could make a better decision based on knowledge and experience with their successes. Otherwise it merely sounds like a celebrity endorsement...some are paid, others are earned.
