Here is what it comes down to:
I spent $300 to spend 3 days at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado and learn from some of the very best Weightlifting coaches in the entire country and be certfied from USA Weightlifitng as a Club Coach.
I spent less than $300 to attend a 2 day seminar from Dave Tate and others at Westside and learn from some of the very best Powerlifters in the nation.
I spent about $260 to spend an entire week at Dr. Mel Siff's house in CO and study with one of the best sports scientists in the country.
I can email Dr. Verkhoshansky, one of the true pioneers in the field of sports training, and ask questions on training on his discussion foum for free
People are spending up to $1000 to learn basic lifts from random "Crossfit" certified people with little to no background in exercise physiology, biomechanics, or coaching experience whatsoever and be told the best program is to just do everything at random because that's how real life works and how the body adapts.
If that's not an example of marketing I don't know what is.
Also, his statement "Those who do not recognize the physiological import of CrossFit - unprecedented increases in work capacity across broad time and modal domains" is a great example of total gibberish that sounds like something but actually means next to nothing.
