I disagree. I understand your point, but not understanding the numbers can lead to overtraining. Failing to recover is a greater injury risk than technique. For example, the consensus in the research is lifting with a rounded low back is safe and often times more effective.

There is I line and technique can help with performance, but I believe intensity and volume are more important to reducing injury risk and improving outcomes based on current research.

With that said, some complex lifts, such as Olympic lifts, require a heavy focus on technique. But the numbers are still important as you need a high volume to develop new motor patterns.
