Some of my heros in the bike fit world are possessed with uncanny ability to see things in riders which others miss. Either you have it or you don't and $275 is not going to make it different.

If you have to rely on a system in order to arrive at a set of fitting numbers you have lost before you started. Compound that with willful disregard for required on the bike experience to know what it feels like to race a bike or ride 15,000 miles training , for instance, leads to some of the bike fitters who believe themselves to have skills to work with people who DO race, who ARE riding big miles and seeking real answers.

Is that harsh to say? Yes.
