The only thing a good steak needs is salt.
But, I do think pepper and herbed butter do enhance it. I don't see how you could make that an "objective" claim, tho.
I'm guessing it went something like, "Steak is good and pepper is good, so steak and pepper together are better than either alone." Of course Jim Gaffigan disproved this line of reasoning with his fruit cake bit: "Fruit, good, cake, good, fruit cake, nasty crap!"
Fruitcake is good tho
So is steak and pepper
Salt/MSG, pepper, butter, rosemary are the absolute most a half decent steak will ever need. But for high grade beef like wagyu, I agree that anything more than just salt would ruin it. Can't say the same for other meats. Steak is unique in this sense. Everything else gets drowned in seasonings.
