I don't think that statement is arguing the point, but rather supporting the premise. If any other material is so great, why do they have carbon components on them instead of that material?
Like was said, Ti or Al are excellent for the frame, CF is excellent for the fork. Why should you expect both parts to be best served by the same material?
