Who said I obsessed over my pan? I agree with you in spirit though - if cooking were so difficult that it required a special old-timey pan to prevent things from sticking, I might give it up too. There's nothing simpler than stainless.I think the commonality is obsessing rather than using.
This thread was a funny read. I'd give up cooking entirely if the tools for doing it were so damn difficult as a simple pan in this thread.
For anyone with the capacity for intellectual curiosity who's still interested in analyzing this, another theory I have is storage. I kept mine above the stove hung on a screw, laying as flat against the wall as possible given the handle. I also boiled water to make tea every morning, and I can imagine how those two things might create extra humid conditions inside of the pan.
