If you're want to use a scalpel to cut through a block of wood, you can, but the scalpel won't last anywhere near as long as making precision cuts through soft materials.
Agreed. You can tune a stock block on E85 and get well over 400, even 500 whp with not a single trace of knock. Does that mean the internals aren't experiencing a massive increase in stress and wear/tear? Of course not, and it would be naive to believe that the torture you're putting a stock engine through at that power level is the same as a bone stock car.
