Perhaps I just don't know how to make a steak and I'm messing up the ribeye that I'm making at the same time.

Now, what I will say you can get easily when buying a ribeye that you'll be hard-pressed to get with a chuckeye, if getting the butcher to cut you a 2.25-2.5 inch thick cut. Given that the "chuckeye" is supposedly the first two-three inches of the chuck section, or the 2-3 inches between the "rib" and "chuck" sections, that might not be something they can easily do.

I will say this, the chuckeye is 120000x better then the rest of the half of the rib/strip section that's not on the Delmonico side of that section. So it's OK to argue ribeye v. chuckeye, but anybody suggesting that that other half is a total waste of money at that price is, well, crazy.
I have no doubt from your posting history that you're preparing them correctly. The flavor of the chuck eye is good, I've never argued that. We've had this discussion ad nauseam.

The texture of the eye (not the cap) is entirely different, and that largely AFAIK is due to how the muscles piece together. If the people you're "testing" can't tell the difference, though, they don't know their ass from a hole in the ground.

Or maybe what you get that's called a chuck eye is different than what I get that's called chuck eye, that's entirely possible, too.
