That's not what luddite means.
Luddite opinion. I love it when people sneer and think all steaks are best rare. A ribeye is significantly different than a filet.

"For maximum flavor and juiciness, cook or eat most steak at medium doneness or less.
Rib Eye. This super flavorful and super juicy cut of prime rib is tender when it’s cooked to no more than medium doneness. Rib eye is best when it’s cooked medium-rare; that’s about 6-8 minutes for a 1-inch-thick steak."
I'm not sure what you're quoting but it doesn't matter. I've tasted and made plenty of steaks before, including grass-fed versus corn-fed.
Ribeye you don't want towards the rare side of medium rare, like you would a filet or strip, but medium well is just cooked too much for any steak, IMO. Get out the A-1 at that point.
Reverse sear
Well your opinion isn't shared by any of the finest steak houses in the countryFat in steak doesn’t even begin to melt, spreading its flavor into the meat, until 135 or 140 degrees. At that point you’ve just entered medium rare land. The process needs to continue until at least medium or so.
On a filet, which has relatively little fat content, medium rare is good. Ribeye is a different story.

That's completely wrong. Beef with even decent marbled intramuscular fat melts between 125 and 130. By 145 degrees you've doubled moisture loss compared to a nice medium rare. 150, which is on the south side of medium well generally, is pretty much the death temp of a good steak as actin denatures.
This line of thinking is straight from an Outback waiter.

Steak is awful. Go vegetarian, just don't over cook your tofu.
