Don't use your imagination--heat it up good in a pan and try it.

That's generally my thinking.

Nevertheless it has to do with how simple the dish is flavor-wise and
how much of the profile of the dish is leveraged by the oil. If I just
stir fried some bell pepper in these three oils I think I could tell
the difference.
