I think he was just trying to maintain a level of neutrality/respectfulness with regard to materials, which is sorely needed (around here especially).

I thought the video did a great job of outlining the properties, benefits, and disadvantages of the material while also highlighting the pertinent point that most people don't get - there is no such thing as "the steel bike" or "the carbon bike", nor properties that all steel bikes or all carbon bikes have. All bikes use different tubing, geometry, components, which have more of an effect on the feel of a bike than inherent properties of the material itself. The general public doesn't get that, and many C&Vers don't either.

Plus that fillet brazed Saffron frame featured in the video is beautiful. I think a lot of C&Vers would appreciate the construction (the seat junction especially).
