shrug. good for them.
I've had two retuls and both fitters came up with different assessments. Therefore I'd still put it on the fitter who needs to place the sensors properly and analyze the data. All in all pretty cool technology, but certainly not the end all be all.
Your premise is also more an attempt at argumentation than anything significant. Because a pro does something one way it doesn't invalidate other methodologies. Your assumption is that using one particular method necessarily produces different results than another, and of course you don't really know that.

When I got paid to ride a bike, we were fitted (back then all the good stuff was custom)...and if you read the book about 7-11 and Merckx's involvement with them building and fitting bikes for them, it's a similar methodology to what we were using back then, too.
There are a number of people out here that will claim the pros don't get or need a fit, they know what they are doing. That's incorrect and the point.

If you tried to make that point in eight words you failed to do so. Perhaps you should study english language haiku. Many poets can fit a whole story into 9 or 10 syllables.
