I did. My first response in this line of conversation had it, talking 
about electric motors:

"though they tend to have very flat torque curves, torque only equals 
horsepower when multiplied by the RPM and divided by 5252 (if you're in 
hp and ft-lbs)."

There's a pretty massive thread over on TDIClub archives about this 
exact same thing.
