To quote Gull: What is the right mix of technique and endurance for a Masters athlete (who wants to be competitive, say, at Nationals) with a finite amount of time to train?
Well, Dave, as you might have noticed if you actually read (rather than just reacted to) my post, I wasn't claiming anything was a "fad." I was just referencing GoodSmith's thread and his opinion. Nothing more. So you might answer your own question and educate us all.

read your post, read smith's post, thank you very much.
Well, if you read my post than why fire back that response at me? Thank you very much.
The distinction between a "fad" and an "evolutionary" change is semantics. I guess we could resort to the dictionary.
Here's a likely "fad:" Everyone trying out Michael Phelps' breathing pattern in fly. I bet many will give it a whirl and, after a short bit, reject it. That's what I did. I'm sure there are many more examples like that, but right now I have to go pick up my kid at swim practice, so I will leave it for others to elucidate.
Aw, look, while I was busy writing, my baby sister gave the same example as me. :rofl:
