Ah, but Guy, it is a new material that hasn't been mentioned in the list
yet and it is more complex to use so it must be better!  Actually,
if we didn't continually keep looking for new processes, the actual process
of making a mirror will just become a boring rote thing to do.
I'll note that I recently got the Sci. Amer. CD and have noted that plaster
tools were being discussed more than 50 years ago and the basic process was
a bit more primitive than it is now.  I find this true with other things as
well.
