I respect your call on the line and realize you have fished for species I can only dream of, but MY opinion of fluorocarbon is a 180 of yours and I have caught a fish or two.
In fact I went fishing with a future employer once that felt as you...no difference.
We fished same water, same fly same tie on, same spot and dang near same presentation....I out fished him 5 to 2. He then tried fluoro tippet and the catch rate was back to even. Coincident, darn strange one.
May be a confidence thing, but I catch more fish with fluorocarbon and so do my students and clients.
All in what you believe. And again, I ONLY fly fish.
