I've never bought that argument either. Saltiness (for me, at least)
depends on how large or small the salt is ground. I prefer cooking
with kosher salt and have salt grinders on the tables, so I had to be
extra careful over at DIL's last weekend because she hadn't
replenished her kosher salt and only had some fancy sea salt that was
as fine as dusting powder IMO.
