woks are round (hemispherical) on the bottom, gas is better for heating that shape

Of course: https://www.epicurious.com/expert-advice/how-to-stir-fry-ele.... Absolutely nobody would have pushed back on the idea that “Asian cooking is better and easier on gas stoves” until five minutes ago when the left decided to make it their “current thing.”

Not even that is true! This seems like another instance of people deriving every facet of their arguments from faulty first principles. There are bowl woks and flat-bottomed woks. We're not going to get anywhere discussing this issue if we can't even agree what a wok is.

my argument comes from being a good, experienced cook, which I know that you are not, because if you were you would not be saying the things you are saying.

Now, it's possible that the small number of good, experienced cooks should not be catered to by society because the vast ocean of the unwashed, of which you are a part, are needlessly destroying the earth's atmosphere by using gas to no benefit, which argument, if you made it, I would listen to. But you very obviously don't cook anything with sophisticated preparation whereby you tilt the pan to control the temp with one hand while whisking with the other, or similar in a round bottomed wok.

you're a passionate lefty, just own it and make that be your argument
