Refined or extra virgin? It matters

didn't see any of the drama but my understanding has always been that refined-ness is one of the main factors that controls smoke point

basically whatever oil you're using, the refined version of that oil will always have a higher smoke point

also the most important factor is actually observing the cooking. Sometimes you want a lower smoke point too, like I can't achieve wok-hai with avocado oil, but I can with sunflower
