    Yes, turkey bacon is a disgrace, but he could easily trash the dish after he was wrong. Instead, he chose to be really humble and open for new knowledge.
    Overall, before becoming an expert, you should become a nice person first, which he did, and that is nice.

It takes 1 shelf space vs over 20 spaces for normal bacon.
