Any time you're dealing with something that's based on taste, it's not a science, Ace.
Can we drop the condescending names now? Really, we have a difference of opinion. Can't we talk to each other respectfully? You know me around here, and I think I've spoken enough on this subject to have people know that while I don't think I'm the best, I certainly know what I'm doing.
There is a science behind what is happening and why it's happening, but making good barbecue is an art, not a science. If it was a science, anyone that can follow a recipe can make good barbecue, and that's just not the case.
As I said, I think there is a flavor from using vinegar and oil as a mop. It tenderizes, yes, and makes the meat moist, yes, but also gives a bit of a sour taste that I find off-putting. I don't have a problem getting the meat tender, and I've found using beer or apple juice is just as effective at helping the moisture issue.
