The Riddle of Steel

What is the Riddle of Steel?

The thought popped into my head about human behaviour over technology, its domination over time, and its philosophical developments. For example to quote from a popular film:

"Crom is strong! If I die, I have to go before him, and he will ask me, 'What is the riddle of steel?' If I don't know it, he will cast me out of Valhalla and laugh at me." ~Conan the Barbarian

Substitute Crom for the 'BCA' or 'Elf & Safety', or the 'computer says no', or 'gear failure', and you get a different perspective when called to account. Is steel (or technology strong)?

Any thoughts?
