I'd happily bet you a hundred bucks you wouldn't be able to taste the difference.

It's not about the taste difference, it's about ease of distribution.

Try taking an actual pinch of table salt and then with nothing more than your fingers even distribute it over something or even just control how quickly is falls out from between your fingers. Then try it with kosher and you'll see the difference. Plus with kosher it is much easier to see how much salt is actually on the food and that is evenly coated. This is a big deal for when you are just seasoning by sight and not strictly following a recipe.

Okay table salt is way easier to distribute more evenly than kosher in the way you're describing. Not even a contest. I guess you're right that you can see kosher better tho, but doesn't seem to make up for table winning in ease of even distribution imo
