Yeah, but often in discussion forums you really are the only one who is right, so just enjoy it!
Yes, I've noticed the same thing - some pro chefs will only use SS, others only use coated; however, I think that's for efficiency on the line. I bet if they were at home cooking for a few friends, they'd use better stuff. Agreed on overblown health risks; however, when such things are discussed, I'm glad I'm hearing the detailed reasons, even if it's no big deal, as it's good to understand what's happening.
