Actually, there are no ceramics in Chobham armor. https://below-the-turret-ring.blogspot.com/2016/03/chobham-armor-facts-and-fiction-1.html https://below-the-t

  While an interesting read: it's fairly clearly stated that they believe there were no ceramics in early Chobham armors. And some newer ones might, though probably not most, and that it's not particularly relevant to the effectiveness (i.e. it's an armor structural pattern, ceramic is orthogonal). So it mostly supports your claim, since Wikipedia is rather focused on the ceramic aspect, but it's in a somewhat different context.

    Ceramics and metals can "cross over" so to speak. Structurally distinct, but in the margins can share properties. They have a relationship. So it might pay not to fixate on the words implications. Chobham armour is a composite, and exploits the properties of different materials.
