Oh, come off it with the scare quotes; it's just an expander plug. It still plugs and expands just fine; in fact it grips better now. I called it crazy because of the amount of work involved to lighten such a small part by 25%.
And the makers of some full-carbon forks like the Columbus Minimal I've ordered for my other bike say it's okay to cut the steerer flush, and that fork weighs just over half what this one does. Some of that is certainly in the steerer.
