Correct, we both mean the same thing, it's 2 fold.
Rider's & engineers are constantly looking for more power & speed. While at the same time, rider's want less & less dirt & water on tracks, in the name of "safety".
Both are counteractive hence the lack of broken track records. In fact, most races are now 2-4 seconds slower than 15-20 years ago.
If seeled engines are not an option, the FIM could introduce a rear sprocket regulation, max of 57-58 teeth. This would force riders & tuners to look for torque rather than horse power, this would make bike that more adaptable for all conditions.
