One can still reason when presented with an anecdote.

You're saying this like nicotine is bad for humans. It's not been shown to be in the levels found in cigarettes, gums, e-liquids, etc. Don't confuse the word nicotine, which has often been used as a synonym for cigarette (eve

> That's true in the trivial sense that "better" is subjective, so nothing is inherently better than anything else. That's not at all what I meant. Sometimes dried pasta works better than fresh pasta, and vice versa.

Some people just find al dente to be more pleasant for certain pasta shapes than the soft texture of fresh pasta. Finishing the pasta in the sauce is always a good idea when it's possible, but you'd still aim for an al dente final
