What the heck are you talking about? Olive oil is perfectly fine for cooking. Not everything needs high temp and fast searing. The smoke point of olive oil is plenty high for tons of sauteing applications.

I know that. I'm just saying, rather than buying cheap olive oil for cooking which is probably very impure and diluted with cheap vegetable oil, there are other oils which one can purchase which aren't imitated with frauds as often and which have higher smoke points.
if one is lazy and wants to buy just 1 oil for cooking, olive oil would not be it. It’s fine for a lot of cooking though.
