I think one of the tricky things with practical experience in this
case is that everyone has the same practical experience regardless of
what they believe.  The principles of coaching a good catch, finish
etc. probably aren't affected by understanding the physics behind the
stroke so it's easy to have an opinion.  Actually measuring lift etc
in an oar can't possibly be cost effective, so your best bet is
combining the theory with the practical observation that hydrofoils
work.
