More seriously, you probably know that I've used power meters for a while and I've developed and refined some of the analytical tools used with power.

Most power meter users use their PMs in almost the same ways that HRMs were used 20 years ago -- to train in zones, and sometimes for pacing. Power meters work perfectly well in this context, and riders get better. However, there are some things you can't do with a HRM, and most of my contributions are in that area. Some of the things I do require pretty high data quality and not only can HRMs not supply the data needed but some power meters don't suffice, either. But most riders don't do that kind of thing. I mostly work with the tail end of the distribution.
