Sure.
I learned how much easier it is to up cadence to get more power than push harder. I already knew this but seeing the numbers was astounding.
I learned about proper pedaling technique and how as I changed things I was able to see the effect on my power output.
I learned a lot about the effect of various position changes on the bike with respect to aerodynamics - what changes I made vs the perceived effort in pedaling and the power output.
I learned a lot about how much and when I was slacking off (especially on slight downhill grades).
The bottom line is you can try things and instantly tell if they have a positive or negative effect on your power output. The speedy feedback is really useful.
