I agree with some of that but not all.
My goal is always to flip just once. It makes it easier for me to judge how well done the steak is as I rely heavily on seeing the juices rising before the flip to determine doneness. The other thing is that for presentation purposes I like the one set of grill marks you get from a single flip.
I try to avoid cutting into the steak, but sometimes I will. I've never noticed a difference in how the steak comes out but again the presentation suffers.
Had same conversation about hockey playoffs with a friend this past week.
Hard to argue against the player safety rules, but I'm not watching the same sports I watched growing up. I don't recall my father or grandfather making that point to me.

Anyone catch the last play of the game tonight? A lot to unpack. Here are my scatterbrained thoughts:
I'm a bit surprised that the call on the field was out. Ump's view was probably blocked but from a side view it looked like Pete was in.
Tie goes to the runner? That's what it looked like to me on replay with the tag and Pete's hand hitting the plate after bouncing in front of it.
Slow-motion instant replay is a waste of everyone's time - in every sport - unfortunately we've crossed the Rubicon.
Did the Mets challenge whether Pete was safe or whether the plate was blocked? Not sure whether they did or whether they had to specify what they were challenging. For the record I hate the blocking the plate rules but....
....Mendoza was pretty adamant that MLB had made it clear that standing on or straddling the plate constituted blocking and Narvaez backed it up in a post-game interview.
The SNY live feed caught the exchange between Mendoza and the ump after the replay decision and it was awesome. Some salty language from Mendoza wrt standing/straddling and the ump telling him it was out of his hands. Sports could do with more of that live interaction between refs and players/coaches. One of the upstart football leagues had a mike on the replay official walking through the decision process and if you ever caught any hot mikes of NHL refs warning players during live play to tone things or they'll get called it's awesome.
Good on ya for backing off on the limelight comment and substituting lifestyle. For the record I'd be less enamored with an owner that didn't love the lifestyle of an NFL owner, but I suppose others prefer corporate ownership.
I listened to a few songs from their most recent a few weeks back and loved it. Enjoy!
I'm going back to the early 80's Friday night for Armored Saint and Queensryche.
I had other stuff going on and saw next to none of the game. When my son told me the no-hitter was in progress I think it was middle of the 6th and the game was about an hour and 10 minutes in, wtf. I didn't have the option of watching the rest - listened to the bloop hit on the radio in the car and quickly turned it off.
On a humorous note, the last thing I told my son before I headed out with the no-hitter in tact was to text his uncle and get him to Citi Field asap - Uncle Scott was at Citi Field for both 'no hitters'.
LAMP time. Went to the game Friday night and I have the picture to prove it. When J.D. put one off the wall I was sure it was going out and went into arms up celebration mode. And you can't tell, but that's a Bills hoodie I'm wearing. Good times.
I try your sister
On the Jersey shore
She said you might be stopping by
But she's just not sure
So I call your mother
On Long Island Sound
She said it must be summer
'Cause you're never around
Inside my future life
What I see just makes me cry
I'm way down now
I'm way down now
The clocks will all run backwards
All the sheep will have two heads
And Thursday night and Friday
Will be on Tuesday night instead
We're out, the jukebox plays Jumpin' Jack Flash
She says "I love Johnny Cash,"
"The man in red," I turn my head
And pretend not to hear what she said
And I don't know where this is goin'
But I've got a feelin', I'll do the drivin' from now on
Now I see you, all impressed and half-undressed,
You got paint stick, all over the scars, lumps and bumps
Tattooed love boys got you where I used to lay
But ha ha, too bad
You know what they say.
Hey, blue on black
Tears on a river
Push on a shove
It don't mean much
Joker on jack
Match on a fire
Cold on ice
Is a dead man's touch
Whisper on a scream
Doesn't change a thing
Don't bring you back
Blue on black
