And that is one conclusion I am coming to myself. IMO, it is a much better selling point, than the rather ubiquitous talking point I get about being able to pull up.
Yeah, I've never noticed the "pulling up" to be much of a thing. Maybe that's one of the things that makes spinning smoother, but I don't ever feel myself *trying* to generate power by pulling up. Probably there is a certain amount of "pulling up" that automatically happens biomechanically because you're securely attached to the pedal, And likely that does add something to the power of your pedal stroke, however minuscule, but for me it's the least of clipless's benefits.
