I think it's also an example of a sport that has interfered far too much and the tinkering has left it a shadow of its former spectacle. It's also an example of a sport whether money talks big so the richer teams had much, much better cars that the smaller ones. In cycling at least with sponsorship from various big bike manufacturers tech-wise it should be an more even playing field, which is something F1 sought to achieve with its tinkering.

True, but this is Quintana's point: allowing any technology that comes along to play a part might eventually make cycling a 'shadow of its former spectacle'.
All I am saying is that you CAN pick and choose, and there's nothing wrong or misguided about Quintana suggesting that cycling could be better off without power-meters; that just because something is advanced it does not follow that it must offer benefits.

FI may be a joke, but it's actually a very good example of a sport where what's permitted and what isn't can have a massive effect either way.
I don't get your point about people still using poison gas. My point was that you don't permit the use of weapons on the basis of how advanced they are. That there are some nasty people out there indiscriminately using some pretty savage weaponry is neither here nor there.
