LOL, that guy was right. Look up the definition.
You will notice that 'torque' is the measure of 'work'. Work requires a force. That force is torque. All horsepower adds to the equation is time, so horsepower is just the ticking of the clock.
This guy quoted below works with horsepower all the time for his livelihood and this is what he has to say about it.
No, there is another element. Distance. You can apply all the force you want for as long as you want but if it doesn't move, no work is done.
Horsepower is measured in foot pounds per second. The word foot isn't there for decoration.
