With regards to looking at video of other skiers.

MA = Movement Analysis

It is literally the analysis of movements being made. The best coaches I know for a variety of sports MA the top athletes to see what they are doing. Intent doesn't come into play unless you move from MA to providing feedback.

I agree with that perspective. And Jim's,  where he points out that if you post video of your skiing in order to demonstrate "how to" and publicize your "product", then others analyzing your skills should be expected.

Now, whether one agrees with the MA done, is where differing paradigms come into conflict.

The Section 8 guy looked smooth, but even I could see his backseat position in some of the video. I know I am almost never in control when I feel that happening to me.
To be fair, the snippets of video were so short, it was hard for me to really get a clean look at his turns.
