A barista in Denver made me question my whole pour over ritual

Last Saturday I watched this barista just dump water straight in the middle of the filter, no spiral pour, no bloom timer, and he handed me the best cup I've had all month. He said my fussy 3 minute routine was making the coffee taste thin because I was overthinking extraction. Is the ceremony really about flavor, or are we all just performing for ourselves?
