Is there a paradox in perceived progress?

Are we holding onto the hope of new technologies to improve athlete performance or to appear more innovative? This talk challenged the notion of constantly adding to our collection of data or method of training, advocating instead for a critical approach that involves subtraction as much as addition, because "mo' data can be mo' problems." The discussion highlighted how people are often more critiqued for adhering to actual reality than the promise of an alternate reality.
