Here is my perspective: People should enjoy what they like and should not be judged for it. However, I do believe that objectively, certain cuts are optimized at different temperatures based on 3 variables: tenderness, juiciness, and flavor. Here are some examples: Filet mignon: extremely lean and tender meaning it will quickly deteriorate and dry out if over cooked.
