Why are army mounts not the default stem fixture for most pipes?

[QUOTE="WarneOut, post: 583999, member: 5415"] That was my thought as well, that removing the stem while hot and letting come to ambient temperature is what will damage a pipe. Taking off for 1 second while hot and replacing while still hot should be fine. I've seen several comments from people under the impression that they have to leave their nasty filter in the pipe until everything cools, because they can't take the stem off at all. I've found in my personal relatively short experience as a pipe smoker that I'm a definite filter guy. I have sensitive gums, and the filter really makes a big difference in saving my mouth from irritation, which I have to imagine correlates with better health, not to mention enjoyment. I do slide the filter out while it's hot, and I do not think my pipe is at risk of damage, but if given the choice, I'd probably prefer army mounts to erase all doubt. [/QUOTE]
