The current belief that fat tires at low pressure have 'almost' the same rolling resistance as skinnier hard tires is 100%BS.
Yan is selling superb fat tires at high prices - you need alternative facts to do that with a straight face when talking rolling resistance.

Gravel riding = fat tires help with control on descents or if the gravel is thick, soft surface, etc
Off road = fat and soft absorb bumps which IS a big advantage.
That's why my mtn bike is a rigid, cross country style.
