i'm 99% sure he was saying the opposite - that my frame was more "chopper" like, and carbon steerers don't have enough "lateral" strength or something. i did check out a few Cervelo and Look road bikes, they're VERY similar, one of them is 73.5 degrees vs my 73.
This is bull. 73 degree hta and 43mm rake is the normalest possible road steering geometry, as well as identical to the stock fork. Your bike is not chopper like at all--it has pretty ordinary road geometry. Also I'm assuming you ride it on the road--and thus a road fork should be appropriate in strength.
