Indeed. It’s very motivated reasoning. But I strongly, very strongly suspect that if you ran a deeply unethical blind taste test, and had vegans sample both plant-based cheeses and milk-based cheeses, even life-long vegans would end up selecting milk-based cheeses as superior based on flavor and texture.
Can I prove it without running an unethical–and potential dangerous–blind taste test? No.
OTOH, Impossible hamburgers are very good, and quite close to the flavor and texture of regular hamburger. They’re not quite perfect if you prefer your hamburgers medium rare, but that’s not the way most people eat a hamburger.
