:shrugs: You're the one who said, "Steel is steel." It's not, and apparently you know that. But there are tons of people out there who don't know any better than that. When you say things like that, how are your readers supposed to know that you are not one of those ignoramuses? Any why...
Eh, no. Steel is an alloy, and there are an infinite number of possible ways to make it. Some mixtures hold up, some don't.
Care to guess which end of that spectrum is cheaper to make and machine?
And CNC can be done right, and it can be done wrong, and there is a continuum in between those.
