Wait, isn't that just in your head? Sounds like an extra step for people who want to feel fancy about their routine.

This whole debate reminds me of the coffee snobs who fight over French press versus pour-over. My local shop has two baristas who nearly came to blows over which method "respects the bean" more. It's the same thing with tools versus skill, you know? Some people act like using a better tool means you're cheating, not that you're smart. Honestly if both cups of coffee (or plates of brisket) taste good, the fight just seems like a way to feel superior.
