Well, he's not completely incorrect. I'm glad you are happy with your PM, but if you're not doing a structured training plan and are just paying attention to riding in zones, you'd probably have seen very similar results with just a HRM - and they're a lot cheaper.
Of course, lots of people like data. But if one isn't using it systematically that's all it is, just data.
