    Softer things don’t crack as easy as hard things when you hit them. Think lead vs tungsten. If you smash a lead ring with a hammer it’ll get misshapen but won’t shatter, hit a tungsten ring and you’ve got metal shards all over the place. (sorry if tungsten is the wrong metal for the example, kind of an old memory)
