I hear ya man
I think this is good general advice. To avoid "overfitting" to bad habits you need to learn how to back off the measurement and work on the mediating mechanics, sometimes for quite some time. Some people respond faster to the actual data and adjust quickly, others improve "locally" but then their overall movement gets stuck somewhere. So I'm pretty open-minded and enjoying what it can yield, I'm just remembering what most of my stats & engineering influences in my life would caution about modeling and improving any system. It's hard to predict what the "right" strategy is for any given player.
I do think we're going to go through something this like all "new" technologies. You have to go through the inflated expectations stage to learn what shakes out in the end. I just want to be on the plateau of productivity myself.
Tech Disc is a great tool. But my initial impressions of it are becoming more and more true. People using it to prove points, or chase data, but not necessarily measure data.
As I've stated, throw it a few times, gather data.
Practice other things. Come back and measure again.
See if that data changes or sticks. Otherwise you're chasing data because you're trying to influence the measurements vs take the measurements.
