While olive oil is a fascinating subject, there are much better pieces out there[1]. This one I think I could largely summarize as "people making and selling olive oil think you should use a lot of olive oil." News at 10.

1: The seminal NYT piece is supposedly at https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/01/24/opinion/food-... but it won't load for me (on Chrome, anyway). Regardless, a simple search for "olive oil fraud" will return sufficient reading on murkiness, in particular a pair from The New Yorker.

For the average USAn, the answer is to buy Costco Kirkland Signature to get real olive oil.
