As noted, knowledgeable people are pretty sure you are wrong. You can use any of the leading materials to get a given design goal, and the ride will be the same. The sound of the frame might be different (CF vs. metal) and the weight will be different, but material does not define frame performance. Design does. There are plenty of examples of stiff, flexible, aggressive, and relaxed bikes from steel, Al, Ti, and CF.
