Hey! I am having trouble understanding the difference in some scenarios of a removable vs permanent link. I understand that removable is something like a paperclip, or a screw in a hockey helmet, whereas permanent is like a staple or glue as it would cause damage to the parts.
However, what about screwing a shelf into some drywall, or nailing two boards together. Although screws are typically considered a removable link- in these cases damage would be caused to the wall and board if the link was removed? Can you confirm that in these cases the link would be considered permanent (non-removable?)
Great question PeacefulBee997!
The difference between those two types of links can be tricky. The non permenant link could, like you said, cause dammage to the structure, but could be removed, then added again. So for the shelf that you were talking about, it would be non permanent because you could screw your shelf into the wall, take it off and then add it back up as much as you would like. On the other side, if you were to use glue, you could not change ideas like the other option, which would make it permanent.
I hope this helped! Fell free to reach out if you have other questions. :)
