Most the people pushing this subject are the ones making money off of it, or getting themselves more attention because of it. I've seen a lot of people complain about SS then turn around and try to sell "special" Titanium plates or something like that. Riiiiight......
If graphite works for you, well then good for you. Use it. But SS is not any worse despite all the 'basement research'
In addition, higher quality SS uses Nickel or some other metal, not chromium.
