I appreciate Joe and Grant's passion about carbon forks in particular. I appreciate it because of my perception of the motive. In my opinion, those who rail hard against carbon forks believe strongly that if 100% of carbon forks were replaced today by steel forks, that the number of skulls that hit the pavement will drop. Wanting fewer skulls on the pavement is a noble motive. Grant has taken that to the American conclusion of commitment, putting his money where his mouth is, and losing money on selling steel forks to those that will take their carbon forks out of circulation forever.
When I hear somebody like Joe or Grant say "carbon forks are stupid", I take it the same way as I do when my wife says "riding a motorcycle on 880 is stupid". She's making a blunt statement borne from the feeling that there's a good person that will be injured (or worse), and she just wishes that person would be content *not* riding that motorcycle on 880.
