You can say this about literally anything in the history of mankind.

Otherwise devices like the horseless carriage or steam locomotive wouldn't be so popular.

Otherwise devices like the printing press or movable type wouldn't be so popilar.

Are you trying to argue what I said or make a counter point? Inventions are made to solve problems; everything you mentioned solved a problem. In this case, the smart devices solved a problem, which for many is unsuccessfully cooking steak based solely on feel.

I hate to break it to you, but the steak you posted in your OP isn't seared. Perhaps you could try a device like a propane torch or searzall to finish the job since you are among the apparent many who unsuccessfully cook a steak based solely on feel.

See jh0400's example of what a seared steak looks like

Oh it's a cheater steak so it was beautifully and perfectly Sous Vide at 128*F for about 2.5 hours then seared in high temp oil in a stainless skillet. Just salt and pepper, nothing special on seasoning. I find if you pull it out of the water bath and let it sit for 10-15 min to cool just a bit, the sear sets better without continuing to cook the center.

It was absolutely great and I cried myself to sleep that night from the sheer joy of how easy such a delicious steak was contrasted sharply with the scorn from this board for having cheated.
