I don't think anyone was saying anything like that.
Good steel tubing in a well designed and well built frame is very good at damping road vibrations and providing a lively feel. Carbon fiber, when properly designed and executed is also very good at that. What numbers some laboratory test produces is of little value on the road. $3000 steel bikes and $3000 CF bikes tend to be very good. There are many examples of each that I would be happy to own.
No arguments with that.
