Ah, you were pulling out legs... right?
If you are complaining about his comment that all grades of steel are equally stiff, then he is right and you are wrong. The stiffness (Young's modulus) of all grades of steel fall in a very narrow rang as does the modulus for all grades of Ti and all grades of aluminum. Many people can't separate stiffness from strength and they are not the same.
