At the international science fair

a student compared onager to trebuchet energy efficiency, and declared
the trebuchet superior.

Comparing an onanger to a trebuchet is like comparing a
rifle to field artillery.

Well it would if the onagar uses twisted string or rope as a spring.
It's rubbish at storing energy.
Using a steel spring may change things.
However a trebuchet is better because one can be made that can throw a
tonne each shot.
As Joe Stalin said: "Quantity has a quality all of its own."
