Perhaps thats accurate for some. And its perhaps also accurate that some find BOA to be more comfortable.
I have 0 interest in lacing my shoes. a velcro strap at the toebox never moves because its right where I like for tightness, and a BOA up higher gives me fast connection with micro-adjusting. I cant get that with laces, especially considering they loosen up over time.
When riding, I can loosen or tighten the shoes on the bike is 5 seconds, so if I get a rare hotspot or toe numb, I can adjust while still riding.
I am not going to declare BOA as a better tightening system, but I certainly like it more. The beauty is that there are multiple tightening systems so someone can find what they like.
