Is this true for both carbon as well as aluminum steerer tubes?
The part where I talk about carbon is specific to carbon. Everything else applies equally to all steerers, even ones made of solid steel. The problem isn't deformation of the steerer, it's deformation of the unsupported part of the stem.

Is this true for both carbon as well as aluminum steerer tubes? I heard (wrongly maybe) that it isn't necessary for the latter.
