That's the generation after mumm-ra, sorry I meant Tricky.
The thing is in this day and age, everything is throw away that is why most people don't take things apart anymore because they'll just go get another on the never never.
Also technology and understanding has come a long way, sports science has come a long way and there are perhaps things you would like to know to best prepare yourself for running or whatever. I see no problem with that and in fact I think it's pretty ignorant to laugh at those that want to be informed.
