Staying on topic is viewed more positively.

This is directly related to the topic. You cant have an indepth discussion about why we use these type of utensils without a discussion of non-stick as one of hte main reasons we use them is they don't scratch nonstick. Or you can collapse the thread and move on to the discussion you are interested in, or just downvote. But complaining that one of the current points of discussion doesnt do it for ya is a pretty lame method of trying to control a topic that you dont even have interest in.

What about silicon or wood utensils? Are you saying we have to use black plastic utensils because of non-stick pans?

If you read the words I wrote and came to that conclusion, work on your reading comprehension.
